I'll start with a confession; I am a sinner.
I was a sinner before I uttered a single word, or committed a single ill-conceived deed – sin is in our nature, we are selfish beings who like to please ourselves in any way possible. The fact that we are sinners and couldn't follow rules very well prompted God to send a savior to build a bridge between His holiness and our immanent unholiness.
People of the Christian faith accept this as our central truth; we are sinful people who will inevitably mess up repeatedly and need bucket-loads of forgiveness over the course of our lifetime.
If we accept this as one of the tenets of our faith, how then should we deal with people in leadership or roles of authority when they fall (or even dive) from grace?
If a man walked into our church, confessed that he had been mentally unfaithful to his wife and had flirted lewdly with a stranger online, we would (in theory) offer him grace, love, and forgiveness. "There, there, man, we all mess up. Just tell Jesus you're sorry and get back on track. It's all good."
We would not launch a media campaign designed to crucify or humiliate him, would we? Oh, I hope not. We would not post his unsavory photos and e-mails on TV and we would not demand he quit his job.
Unless he's elected to public office. What happens to our notion of "grace" when someone is a public figure? It seems to evaporate from view. Grace fails even appear as one of the listed options of response. Christian beliefs recede and mob mentality takes its place. Recently I have watched believers and non-believers alike line up to crucify any poor sap that chose to become a public servant for a living and dared to sin.
U.S. Rep Anthony Weiner is a married man, and he probably shouldn't have sent racy photos of his genitals to another woman. John Edwards was married man with a wife who was dying from cancer and he cheated on her. A bad choice on his part, too. Are we appalled by their behavior? Sure. Should we offer them the same grace we would offer anyone else who came asking sincerely for forgiveness? Absolutely.
Sexual sin is not as shocking as we pretend. According to the website for Craig Gross' XXX Church – the average age people start watching porn is 11, and 40 million adults in the U.S. view porn daily. That's staggering.
We can assume that since there aren't 40 million members of Congress, that some porn viewers and sex-texters are say…postal carriers, hair stylists, grocery cashiers, truck drivers, doctors, dog-groomers, and… church goers. In fact in a 2007 study, 70% of Christians admitted to struggling with porn. (Here's the link to the stats on the XXX church website - http://www.xxxchurch.com/whyporn/ )
I had a debate about this with my friend Pastor Jordan Brawner, he said "Should we forgive all? Yes. Does forgiveness mean consequences are avoided? Nope."
Perhaps he's right, but my question is who determines the consequence for a man's sin other than God? Can anyone trust our moral outrage when we ourselves as a nation wrestle with this same sin? If our elected officials truly represent us, and 40 million U.S. adults are watching porn and visiting adult websites daily, perhaps those people who wrestle with sexual sins DO represent us.
The rush to pass judgment also seems less than genuine when it lines up along the lines of any given political party.
Each party quietly (or not so quietly) rejoices when a representative of the opposing party falls, yet makes excuses for their own. I hate to break the news, dear readers, but while the GOP has a slight edge in sex scandals, it's a pretty tight race. (See the score card at http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2010-03-30/which-party-has-more-sex-scandals/)
If we decide as a nation we won't tolerate marital infidelity or sexually inappropriate web viewing from our leaders, then we need to make that part of the deal when someone runs for office. Even rules across the board. "Sin is not tolerated from office holders." Of course that would greatly narrow our field of candidates since it appears only 12 of us aren't watching online porn.
As believers I think we must offer grace to those who come seeking forgiveness. If their sin caused their job to be compromised, if they broke a law in pursuit of their sin, if they misused federal funds to pay for their sin – then yes, by all means they must resign. But if they did not, the judgment and penalty for their sin should only come from their spouse and God.
Matthew 7:1-5 from the Message translation says: 1-5 "Don't pick on people, jump on their failures, criticize their faults— unless, of course, you want the same treatment. That critical spirit has a way of boomeranging. It's easy to see a smudge on your neighbor's face and be oblivious to the ugly sneer on your own. Do you have the nerve to say, 'Let me wash your face for you,' when your own face is distorted by contempt? It's this whole traveling road-show mentality all over again, playing a holier-than-thou part instead of just living your part. Wipe that ugly sneer off your own face, and you might be fit to offer a washcloth to your neighbor.

Posted | Discussion |
June 14, 2010 madsenior 54 posts | best weight training to improve hitting I take bp three times a week and I lift once or twice a week. My question is what is the best way to lift to get a stronger swing. I just want to increase my distance. I know about the bats so that is not the issue. thank you. Mike |
June 14, 2010 Enviro-Vac Men's 65 431 posts | Demarine used to be big on bench press and talked about exploding through the weights so you can train your fast twitch muscles. For ball players, strengthen the core is important. Many guys I know pull lateral weights on a machine that work both sides of the same muscles as swinging a bat does. All of the work-outs I know about and do for ball require enhancing the fast twitch muscles rather than building bulk. Protein supplements after a work out help. |
June 14, 2010 E4/E6 Men's 60 873 posts | EV I think you hit on it. A strong core and obliques are essential to the one thing thats needed more then any strength you can build. That would be bat speed. Madsenior I dont know what size bat you use but its been said the 26 to 28oz composites are optimum for driving the ball, due to increased bat speed. |
June 14, 2010 madsenior 54 posts | I just talked to a baseball coach at a high school here in Montana. He also is the weight coach for MSU. I am told that the best training for my age is thing called the Total Gym. I think it is sold on TV. Anyway I googled it and it uses your body weight and pulleys. Anyone here have one?? good - bad - ? |
June 14, 2010 Enviro-Vac Men's 65 431 posts | MadSenior: I notice you are in Montana. Will you be at the senior games there in June? I will be there playing with the Marauder 60s from Vancouver, BC. Look me up. ...No. 11 |
June 14, 2010 madsenior 54 posts | Wish I could but have to go to visit the grandkids. good luck... |
June 15, 2010 BruceinGa Men's 65 3110 posts | I'm a believer in strong hands, wrists and forearms. I don't work on anything else. ;) |
June 15, 2010 olie04 Men's 50 47 posts | madsenior, the question you are asking does not have one answer that would apply to everyone. There are to many variables regarding the human body and how we are genetically built to have an answer that would apply across the board. I will give you the short answer that will help you to make what choices may be best for you. First of all there are basically three body types, Ectomorphs, Meosomorphs, and Endomorphs. You need to understand which type you are, and then understand what your limitations are within each one. We are born with a certain amount of "Fast twitch" muscle fibers as well as "slow twitch" fibers. Fast twitch are designed for explosive movements, slow twitch are for endurance or repetative firing over a longer duration. At the age of 25, males begin to decline in the amount of testosterone that they produce. This process starts the natural decline in the quality and quantity of muscle that a person naturally has based on their body type. This also obviously effects our strength capabilities. You can't increase the amount of fast twitch muscle fibers you are born with, but by working out with resistence training and cardio/endurance training you can stave off the inevitable decline. About 70 percent of males over the age of 45 are suffering from a medical condition called "Testicular hypofunction" aka, low testosterone levels. This has a dramatic effect on our endurance ,strength and vitality. I suggest you get you free testosterone level checked by you doctor to determine if you are in the high risk percentile. Any exercise that strengthens the torso, core, thighs and hips all add to a better and stronger swing. If you were never a home run or power hitter as a young man, you are not going to be one just because you now start working out. But if you are looking to improve what you are already capible of then implement a sensible resistance/cardio training routine(work each muscle group once a week), healthy eating, good rest and you will reap the benifits of a much better game. Good luck and be consistent. |
June 15, 2010 mad dog Men's 65 4108 posts | every one here has made real good comments on what to do.working on your forearms and wrists,i also work the back(upper),along with the core.also work your legs as you need a good base to work off from. when i had availability to a gym,i used to use the pull down as i would swing,do both sides. |
June 15, 2010 mad dog Men's 65 4108 posts | also on reading this thread no one has suggested mike macenko's bat speed drill,this is a great tool for improving your bat speed.also there is a bat chute out by ray demarini that really helps. |
June 15, 2010 Enviro-Vac Men's 65 431 posts | CrazyPup: You are right about the bat speed drill. I do it every Winter. |
June 16, 2010 Reggie44 Men's 50 38 posts | Olie great post. Olie has been a weight lifter and great softball player for years and he definatly knows what he is talking about. This is my take on lifting weights as it pertains to hitting a softball. Currently I workout 4 days a week, mostly upperbody, but there have been times that I haven't worked out at all and have found that I can hit a softball just as far and just as hard as when I was working out. Most guys that play Major plus or Majors can hit the ball out on a consistant basis but the mental part of the game is where you can get your edge. That's where working out helps me. If I go into a tournament feeling that I have done the off the field work it helps a ton with my mental attitude and confidence when I step on to the field therefore translating into more home runs, higher batting average and better defense play. So working out and staying in shape may or may not make you hit the ball harder but it certainly will not make things worse. Reg #27 Colorado Rapid Erectors |
June 16, 2010 Dirty Men's 50 1375 posts | Just like spot-reducing, targeted weight training is really not a valid concept. Yes, some things will contribute to specific activities more than others, but a BALANCED program is essential if for no other reason than to prevent injuries from muscle imbalance. Not to mention, who does not want a symmetrical look v. large arms/small legs, deep chest/narrow back, etc.? |
June 16, 2010 madsenior 54 posts | Great stuff guys....good advice and very helpful. thank you |
June 16, 2010 #6 Men's 60 1175 posts | mad dog, I saw you in Dallas, the only "weight training" you did there was with 12 oz. curls ! LOL ! |
June 16, 2010 Captain Marauder Men's 65 72 posts | Maddog hope you pump iron untill Huntsman I need a powerhitter Keep pushing dude |
June 16, 2010 mad dog Men's 65 4108 posts | #6 but they all were in my bubba keg 1/2 (32 oz)gal jug so more weight than the 12 oz :):).will do George,you know i like my weight training,LOL. |
June 18, 2010 Enviro-Vac Men's 65 431 posts | Good thread for a while huh? Cap'n Marauder - Mad Dog would prolley' be throwing them 12oz cans knuckle ball style |
June 19, 2010 mad dog Men's 65 4108 posts | another training aide is to hang a tire from a tree and hit the side of it(to spin it),might want to anchor the bottom ,to keep it from swinging.i use a heavy bag also for this.go get some 16" balls to bp with,not a lot of distance/fun but you'll need to drive thru them to get a good swing/distance,and that is what you want to do when you are hitting anyways. |
June 19, 2010 Capt Kirk 509 posts | Chicken Fried Steak, mashed tater/gravy, fried okra, blackeye peas, & pecan pie seems to work for me. Couple of shiner beers to make sure all of that get stuff get distributed. |
June 20, 2010 #6 Men's 60 1175 posts | Capt Kirk.so that is where all that weight came from ? LOL ! LET ME KNOW MORE ABOUT YOUR TOURNAMENT. WE DIDN'T HAVE IT ON OUR SCHEDULE, BUT LET ME SEE WHAT WE CAN DO, |

Gary |
June 21, 2010 madsenior 54 posts | Ok I have decided to give up on working out to hit better ..going to take some steroids, shave my U2 and only hit 50 core/600 comp balls. For running the bases I have one of those football fan caps that will feed tubes of Red Bull in me for the whole game!! |
June 22, 2010 Robo2 238 posts | Lifting is very important to increasing hitting for consistency and power. The only ones who say not are ones that do not lift. The head of Sports medicine and pain management in a hospital in NJ told me that for my age (58) the best way to build muscle is 2 sets of 15 (any more is just a fatigue). He also said that the back is critical to work on. Wide grip pull downs; seated rows; upright rows; and reverse flys are important. I too am a proponent of dumbell inclines (dumbells hit the stabilizer muscles). I also work forearms with reverse curls; bi's with curls and legs for a strong base and balance. How this gives you another persepctive. |
June 22, 2010 Dirty Men's 50 1375 posts | Robo, no disrespect to the doctor but how muscular is he? While medical knowledge can certainly be helpful, I prefer to take my advice from those who have, not just those who sort of studied it. Fifteen rep sets are pretty/very high for muscular development, and certainly too high for strength development. 8-10 rep sets, with occasional 6-rep and 4-rep workouts thrown in, are much more optimal. Just the thoughts of someone with 31 years of practical lifting experience. |
June 22, 2010 hombre Men's 60 237 posts | This really hurts me, but Dirty, I tend to agree with you. I've too have been lifting for to some degree for most of my adult life. However, our muscles respond much differently thatn they did 30 years ago. I know what does and doesn't work for me, but I'm older than 58. LOL |
June 22, 2010 Dirty Men's 50 1375 posts | Gee thanks, I think. :) I do agree that each person reacts differently, but there does seem to be some principles that apply to most if not all. |
June 22, 2010 lemons Men's 65 311 posts | I'm reminded of the old joke, "Could you hit before you started weight training?" |
June 22, 2010 mad dog Men's 65 4108 posts | what degree do you have dirty,for physical training.15 reps will build strength and stamina.now,unless you do explosion type lifting it will not help your fast twitch muscles needed for hitting,but you will build strength and stamina. |
June 23, 2010 Webbie25 Men's 60 2191 posts | Dang, you guys work too hard. I have been trying to perfect one armed bp so I can drink a cold one at the same time. I have left-armed down, but am having trouble right arming it. May just have to quit and drink Sam Adams Lager. :-) |
June 23, 2010 mad dog Men's 65 4108 posts | webbie don't laugh,there is a guy from bakersfield,ca that does hit 1 arm.he has a lot of pop also.he started doing it b/c he would hit to his kids and have a glove on so the kids could throw the ball back to him instead of lobbing it.he said he has tried 2 hands but gets more extension 1 handed. |
June 24, 2010 Dirty Men's 50 1375 posts | mad dog, I don't. As I said I have 31 years of 4 times a week of practical experience. Of course 15-rep sets will build stamina, I never said otherwise. But it will not build strength in the real sense. It just doesn't. And hitting is an explosive action, so while muscle stamina is not a bad thing it will do little to affect the softball/basebal swing. |
June 24, 2010 Webbie25 Men's 60 2191 posts | mad dog, I was tongue in cheek, but we had a guy in Albuquerque that hit one armed and did pretty well.He had lost his other arm somehow. My apologies if my attempt at beer humor offended anyone. |
June 24, 2010 mad dog Men's 65 4108 posts | webbie no prol,was just letting ya know,that you can do it,LOL,beer in one hand and swing with the other. back to reality i have seen actual 1-armed guys play also. dirty,i have been lifting for over 40 years,so i guess my expertise is better than yours. anytime you lift you gain strength no matter how many times you pump it up-6,8,10,12,15. |
Sept. 23, 2010 "MARIO" 20 posts | I just turned 50 and trian 4 nights a week. I have learned over the years to listen to my body. I do each body part once a week. I do 4 sets of 10 of 3 different movements for each body part. This is just a outline. Legs are the most important part of a powerhitter. So I do legs when I feel the strongest.My workout is as follows. Monday-Legs/Shoulders, Tuesday cardio/abs, Wednesday-Chest/Triceps, Thursday-cardio/abs, Friday-Back/Biceps. During the season when I am traveling on Fridays I skip Thursdays workout. Also during the season I do a routine called 21. Do 1 set of each body part 21 reps. So on chest/triceps day I will do 1 set of bench - 21 reps and 1 set of triceps -21 reps. This helps keep my strength and keeps me from over training. The biggest problem I see I in older guys is over training. I'm a big guy 6'5" 275 lbs and have been training for over 30 years. Listen to your body!!!!!! |
Sept. 23, 2010 stick8 1494 posts | The best way I know to improve your hitting is taking lots of bp. Besides "mario" I'm suprised no one has mentioned LEGS. Everything in softball-running, hitting, throwing, reacting to a hit ball on defense starts with your legs. In fact everything in most all major sports is generated from your legs. When your in the 7th or 8th game of a tournament and you don't have the zip on your swing or movement chances are it's your legs that are holding you down. While some have upper bodies that ask "which way to the beach" having weak legs won't bode well for improving ones hitting. |
Sept. 24, 2010 canIjack Men's 60 322 posts | Walking, leg squats or knee bends for the legs. Leg raises(core)Push ups(5 sets of 20 or more), Dips(5 sets)and pull ups(5 sets)for the upper body And 30 sec. rest between each set, and last get a tire, hang it from a tree and get to swinging hard or chopping wood action with a heavy bat. YOU DON'T NEED WEIGHTS! |
Sept. 24, 2010 mad dog Men's 65 4108 posts | stick read the 9th post down,my first post,i say you need to work on the legs for a good strong base in it. glad to see this post brought back from the dead as we are going to the off season.many good idea's to help our conditioning. |
Sept. 24, 2010 stick8 1494 posts | Mad dog I stand corrected. Let me add that one should use lighter weights when working on legs. It's more important to perform the exercise correctly to isolate and develop the muscle rather than too much weight which harm the joints. |
Sept. 24, 2010 mad dog Men's 65 4108 posts | well i guess u better be,LOL.i like to use weights,that if pushed i can do almost 20 reps,that is light enough for me.i go for 15 reps when i do work out,and when the time comes that i can get the 20 easy(more like 23-25), i go up a little in weight. |

I am so excited! This weekend we had a sickie, which would normally not be a fun thing. However, it was mild - low grade fever and a headache. Just sick enough to be sweet and rest when we asked. Not so sick that bodily functions were happening without permission.
We had an exciting weekend planned - fiddling, buskers, farmer's market, school meeting and more! Almost all of it was put off or attended with just the well kiddo in tow and one parent home.
So, I had an opportunity to really dig into a project, and what did I do?
I made my very first pattern!
It is a very simple pattern - measured for ribbing and knitted it for around an inch. Doubled the stitches until I reached an inch shorter than I wanted the skirt, purl one row, knit one row with new color, k2tog, yo one row, k next row, change colors and k a row, purl, bind off in knit.
The pants - same number of stitches, k2 p2 for an inch, add 1/3 the stitches, k until inseam, put half the stitches on waste yarn, k the other stitches in the round until 1 inch below desired length and repeat the border above, using the opposite colors. Repeat for the second leg. Sew up the crotch and weave in ends.
For the straps, I believe I did a brioche stitch? Not sure. co6, k1, sl 1 wyif three times. Turn and repeat until the strap is desired length (approx 3 inches). Sew onto the dress.
I'm also working on a wee shawl to finish this outfit off. I am madly in love with the colors I used - scraps from other projects.
Can't wait to see this complete!

Old English standan (class VI strong verb; past tense stod, past participle standen), from Proto-Germanic *sta-n-d- (cf. Old Norse standa, Old Saxon and Gothic standan, Old High German stantan, Swedish stå, Dutch staan, German stehen), from PIE root *sta- "to stand" (see stet).
Sense of "to exist, be present" is attested from c.1300. Meaning "to pay for as a treat" is from 1821. Phrase stands to reason (1620) is from earlier stands (is constant) with reason. Phrase stand pat is originally from poker (1882); stand down in the military sense of "go off duty" is first recorded 1916. Standing ovation attested by 1968; standing army is from c.1600.
"pause, delay," Old English, from the root of stand (v.). Meaning "place of standing, position" is from c.1300; figurative sense is from 1590s. Sense of "action of standing or coming to a position" is attested from late 14c., especially in reference to fighting. Meaning "raised platform for a hunter or sportsman" is attested from c.1400.

Rose Tyler, a young shop assistant in a London department store, lives a humdrum and profoundly average life - until the night the shop dummies where she works wake up and try to kill her. Her life is saved by a strange man who only calls himself The Doctor, and intrigued by him, she finds herself thrown headlong into a hectic battle to stop an alien presence from invading Earth and annihilating the human race. She comes to learn that her new friend is even stranger than she thought - in fact, the Doctor's an alien adventurer called a 'Time Lord', seemingly the last of his race, who travels through time and space in his TARDIS battling evil where he finds it. And if she travels with him, she'll find herself witnessing the heat-death of the Earth five billion years in the future, meeting Charles Dickens in the past, and encountering lifeforms and invaders stranger than she'd ever thought possible. Only one thing is certain - it'll be the ride of a lifetime.

Noting that the residential mortgage origination process is often "fraught with anxiety" for consumers, CFPB Director Richard Cordray announced an upcoming pilot project that would assess how electronic closings could streamline the closing process and ease the concerns and frustrations of borrowers.
According to an April 23, 2014, news release, the CFPB hopes that electronic closings will help address what the CFPB sees as the major "pain points" in the closing process. These include the limited time consumers may have to review the closing documents, the volume of necessary paperwork, and the complexity of many closing documents. The news release can be found here.
While electronic closings are already being conducted in the market, they remain rare. One reason for the low adoption rate, according to the CFPB, is simple misinformation about the feasibility and legality of conducting electronic closings. The CFPB also cited concerns that electronic closings may actually increase the risk to consumers by reducing their engagement in the closing process. The pilot project is reportedly designed to evaluate and address these issues.
Lenders interested in participating in the pilot project must partner with a technology vendor and they must submit a joint proposal. The proposed projects must meet minimum guidelines for functionality, including a secure software solution for storing and transferring documents and data, the ability to audit, and the ability to mask sensitive data fields. The full set of guidelines can be found here. Additional details on the procedure for joining the program are available in the Broad Agency Announcement that can be found here.
The CFPB highlighted the pilot project as an important part of their "Know Before You Owe" mortgage initiative. The highest profile aspect of the initiative to date is a rule issued by the CFPB in November 2013 requiring the use of two new mortgage disclosure forms: a loan estimate, and a new closing disclosure which must be provided to consumers at least three days prior to closing. It is expected that this new rule will be implemented in August 2015.
With both the pilot project and the broader initiative, it is clear that the CFPB expects the mortgage origination and closing process to evolve in order to address what the CFPB sees as failure to properly serve consumers. Whether that evolution requires the regular use of an electronic closing platform remains to be seen.

I bought a 97 cobra a week ago with a few bolt on mods. It has been a garage queen with 48k original miles. 93 octane and mobile 1 synthetic its entire life. Now that being said I drove it a few days ago and it suddenly acted, sounded and ran like a V6. I thought I sprung an exhaust leak (sounded funny) so after driving it to the muffler shop and realizing it wasn't that it got its first CEL come on. Hooked a hand held up and realized it had a 303 & 305 misfire. I assumed coil pack being that it was on the same half. I bought new ones but figured out how to test them and realized they test like the new ones. I cleared those codes and realized I had a 1516 IMRC code. I ran fresh 93 through with NOS octane boost and lucas fuel treatment. I also sprayed a little seafoam through the TB. Still same issue. I carried it to my local oil change place and they had larger computers and said the IMRC was stuck closed. It is off and on or sometimes its for several miles. From what I gather its the plate sticking closed that's throwing the misfire codes. I also understand ford doesn't carry the IMRC controller if its the issue? Anybody with some thoughts or links on repairs please chime in. Ive heard of a delete kit but with 410 gears and 19mpg I hate to lose more gas mileage. I hate to remove the entire upper and lower and not have needed to. I guess ford can diagnose a little deeper im not sure. Does these open all the time? I thought they only opened at 3250? Also they didn't want to do a fuel system flush because neither vacuum line looked to atomize to all ports. thanks guys
FWIIW, a stuck IRMC isn't going to cause a misfire. Always focus first on the misfire DTC codes before working on any other DTC codes. If the IRMC is stuck closed, this will cause power loss at higher RPM. If the IRMC is stuck OPEN, this will cause poor throttle response at low RPM's. Also remember that a bad/clogged/stuck fuel injector can also cause a misfire. Use a "noid" style test light to confirm a firing "pulse" on the fuel injector. My vote is a coil pack issues since for the V8, #3 and #5 share a coil pack circuit.
well maybe its stuck open at times. it was idleing low/rough has no throttle response ar low rpm. just like a v6. I figured the ports acting up would cause a misfire. So does the IMRC stay 100% closed until 3250?
I tested the primary and secondary resistance on my factory packs. they were in spec and matched the new ones. I took them back thinking that wasn't the problem.
Keep in mind that a resistance check with a standard VOM will only tell you part of the story. A coil with decent windings will show good resistances but a failure in the insulation that breaks down at 1kV or so will not be detected by this test. At the very least swap coils left and right and see if the problem follows the coil or stays on those cylinders.
MY LATEST UPDATE : I swapped coil packs and made no difference. I just removed the tower brace so I could get my hands on the IMRC linkage. Now I cranked the car and it was sounding/running like it was on 6 cylinders. I assumed IMRC problems but I opened them up by hand and I heard maybe a little more air flow but no change in running. Now im guessing the issue is something else. I may have a IMRC problem but its not whats causing the 303/305 misfire codes and the not running on all cylinders sound. The car has MSD digital ignition box. Could the box be an issue? I would think it would cause problems on all cylinders. Thoughts? Getting frustrated lol.
Consider using a "noid" style test light to confirm a firing pulse on the coil primary. While you are at it, also confirm the firing pulse to the fuel injector. Inspect the electrical connector on the primary coil side. Look for bent/pushed pins.
took it to the dealership today and they hooked it up and found the IMRC controller to be bad. said it would cause misfires. now to delete or not?
I mod everything so I may not be the best to answer but I say delete them. The car will not loss much or even noticeable low end. We did it on my bothers car years ago and it ran better without. It's a restriction above 3000 or so RPM even if its working right. Although on a stock car the restriction is small. Now with all that being said if it were me in your shoes and I could fix it without pulling all the manifold off and stuff I would fix the IMRCs and leave them on. Also you might want to check with a tuner to see if any adjustments are needed to air to fuel or with possible codes from the IMRCs being removed. http://www.lethalperformance.com/96-98-svt-cobra/induction/imrc-delete-plates

Another interesting possibility about the future of scripting languages comes in the form of Java Specification Request (JSR) 223, which describes the goal of allowing better interactivity between Java and scripting languages. Some relevant quotes from the JSR:
"This specification will introduce the basic technical background to bridge the scripting and the Java community. The specification is concerned with how to write and package Java classes that will be accessible from different scripting engines.""This specification will describe how it is possible to bundle scripting pages into a WAR file, either stand-alone, or as part of an EAR. The specification will describe the different implications for security, resource, and class loader contexts both in the case of stand-alone WARs and as part of an EAR. The EG will also consider whether it is appropriate to deliver scripting and Java code outside of a WAR."Sound familiar? ColdFusion is ahead of the curve once again, and since Macromedia is an official sponsor of the JSR they'll have a hand in defining how this all plays out.This is interesting to me for several reasons, not the least of which being that the ColdFusion community, between Macromedia ColdFusion and New Atlanta's BlueDragon, is once again ahead of the curve on things. It's been possible to deploy ColdFusion apps on J2EE servers since the release of CFMX (and this got much better in CFMX 7), and with BlueDragon you can deploy CF apps on J2EE or .NET. Apparently other folks think this is a great idea, and the reference implementation of JSR 223 may include PHP as the example of how this is done.The other thing I can't help but think is that this is the Java community's response to the .NET CLR's ability to run multiple languages. If Microsoft got anything right with the .NET architecture, this was definitely it. Giving people a choice of languages that all run on the same platform offers fantastic flexibility, and if this becomes the norm in the Java community, CF will have been way ahead of the game. I'm going to keep my eye on this JSR!

First appearance | Put Your Head On My Shoulder |
Voiced by | Tress MacNeille |
Petunia is a woman who enjoys gambling and lives in Nutley. Bender once set her up on a date with Fry: although they did not finish that date, Petunia is seen commenting on Fry's sexual performance during Leela's hallucination of Fry's funeral in "The Sting".
She is apparently a prostitute, although she was seen operating a self-service bee farm, which she seems to own, during Kwanzaa 3010. However, the farm only appeared in a non-canon segment, so it may not exist in the real universe.
