bumpy ride.

Recommended Posts

On certain patches on Mumbai Pune expressway, mostly going fromMumbai to pune I have noticed a bumpy ride  at 1 - 2 spots mostly between Mumbai to first toll at khopoli..has anyone noticed similar thing.

I had driven alto and was alone in the car and mostly in center lane. I slowed down from 85 - 90 (normally that's my max speed in general on expressway) to around 65 - 70 and then it was ok.

In general I find a much smooth ride on tar roads than cement ones.

Concrete Roads vs Asphalt Roads

by Suvo (12,138 pts BHMono_yellow.gif)

Edited & published by Lamar Stonecypher (20,356 pts BHMono_yellow.gif) on Aug 17, 2010

Asphalt roads wear more than concrete roads, but
many countries are replacing concrete roads with asphalt because it is
cheaper, despite concrete roads having some major advantages. Learn
about the advantages and disadvantages of the different road paving
surfaces in this article. If you have traveled from Pune to Mumbai by road then you might have noticed the beautiful concrete expressway. In almost all the new major road construction you can see
the use of concrete rather than asphalt these days. At the same time,
some popular highways are still in asphalt.

Advantages of Concrete Roadways

  • Durability and maintenance free life: Concrete
    roads have a long service life of forty years, whereas asphalt roads
    last for ten years. More over, during this service life concrete road do
    not require frequent repair or patching work like asphalt roads.
  • Vehicles consume less fuel:
    A vehicle, when run over a concrete road, consumes 15-20% less fuel
    than that on asphalt roads. This is because of the fact that a concrete
    road does not get deflected under the wheels of loaded trucks.
  • Resistant to automobile fuel spillage and extreme weather: Unlike asphalt roads, concrete
    roads do not get damaged by the leaking oils from the vehicles or by
    the extreme weather conditions like excess rain or extreme heat.
  • Greener process:
    Asphalt (bitumen) produces lots of highly polluting gases at the time
    of melting it for paving. Also, less fuel consumption by the vehicle
    running on a concrete road means less pollution.
  • Saving of natural resources:
    Asphalt (bitumen) is produced from imported petroleum, the reserve of
    which is becoming reduced drastically. On the other hand, concrete
    (cement) is produced from abundantly available limestone.

Disadvantages of Concrete Roadways

  • Paving cost: The paving cost of the concrete road is little higher compared to asphalt paving.
  • Maintenance Problem: In case the concrete road breaks, the whole concrete slab needs to be replaced.
  • Safety features: In rainy and the winter season vehicles tend to slip or slide on concrete road due to rain and snow.

Advantages of Asphalt (Bitumen) Road

  • Economical: Asphalt
    is still less costly compared to concrete. Moreover, it takes less time
    to build a asphalt road than a concrete road. (Asphalt dries faster.)
  • Recyclable: Asphalt is a recyclable material. It can be used again and again by melting it.
  • Easy maintenance: Repairing just a prt of the asphalt road is easily possible. Asphalt roads even can be relayered over the old layer.
  • Safe: Asphalt roads provide better traction and skid resistance for vehicles. Asphalt tends to help keep roads free from ice and snow.

Disadvantages of Asphalt (Bitumen) Road

  • Durability: heavy rain and other extreme weather conditions damage the asphalt road, and the roads need to be repaired frequently.
  • Weather Pollution: Melting asphalt produces lots of harmful green house gases. Also costly petroleum is required to produce asphalt.

roads are highly durable and more environmentally friendly as compared
to asphalt roads. However asphalt paving costs far less than concrete
paving. Also, asphalt road provides a little better safety of the
vehicle against snow and skidding.

Having Driven a Fiesta 1.6 S on a newly laid Concrete road and a rather well maintained asphalt road, what i felt ;

* Steering feedback is far better on Asphalt

* ride quality is much smoother

* no irritating expansion gaps of concrete slabs

* Tyre Noise is far better as a form of feedback to the driver's ears on asphalt compared to concrete when car is driven in full throttle with atleast driver side window down

* Black asphalt glistens more and grabs drivers attention

more than plain grey of Concrete

Also i have noticed that driving on a concrete road heats up the tyre much faster than on the normal roads. This could turn dangerous if one is driving for long durations on cemented roads. Have witnessed many tyre failure / bursts incidents due to this heating factor.

  1. I play cubic sandbox a lot and I love it but now I’m hating it because there is a glitch or should I say a mod that allows other players to switch the owner stat of a game to themselves and than they kick everyone in the game and you cannot kick the player ether and because you can’t kick them they switch the owner and start to grieving you and than they start saying that it’s there server now and it makes me so mad! can you guys at catsbit ban the usage of mods in game or make it so you can report that player if you do fix this I would be so happy. also as an additional Mention this same glitch or mod is starting to get into Sandbox 3D just figuring you guys might want to know so if your admin is switched you know why.

Again Standard of Excellence for my C Ne 50 doilies

Recommended Posts

Last night I have attended the Preview Evening for the Royal Easter Show 2018 in Sydney and I was pleasantly surprised to learn that I have won Standard of Excellence again with my three Guetermann sewing thread C Ne 50 doilies. Furthermore has my motif sewing thread shawl also won a first prize and the sewing thread doily in a frame offered for sale has surprisingly won the second prize! Here are some pics of my entries and the for me very successful event:

programming some FPGA using Espruino/Pico

Posted on
  • Hello there!

    I was wondering how much work it may take to have a way to be able to program a FPGA [ using SPI ? ] from an Espruino ?

    It may need a different set of "helpers" for different manufacturers/devices, yet a module could provide some overall architecture that may then support specific hardware ( .. )

    Seeing the following fleafpgauno or fpga-shield, I wondered what it 'd take to replace the Arduino/AVR sid by a Pico ;)

    So, possible ? already exist ? [ actually useful ? ] hints ? ^^

    ( or XC6SLX9 ebay ? )

  • I had a look at those, looks like the fleafpgauno IS the arduino, it's an fpga emulating an arduino compatible chip. The shield is programmed by an arduino, but as far add I can tell it only interfaces with the flash, you still need to use your computer to create the bitstream for the fpga. I don't think there's any value in replacing the arduino with an espruino, it's just doing some translation and you don't interact with it at all.

    I've previously wondered whether it'd be possible to write javascript and have it translated into logic and programmed into an fpga, but due to the bulky toolchains needed for fpgas and the difficulty in mapping javascript to some sort of hdl, it seemed like a lot of effort for very little gain.

  • Well, I think it should be possible. It'd totally depend on the type of FPGA what you had to do to get it to work, but I'm sure you could send configuration data over.

    I think it'd be hard to get the JS to modify the FPGA directly, but you could have several different configurations in flash or an SD card and you could write the required one in as needed.

    ... I actually used to work for Altera, developing a compiler that made C code run on an FPGA. You could definitely get some subset of JS running on an FPGA, but it'd require a lot of work, and the compiler for that is never going to fit on Espruino itself :)

    Also it's really not (at least when we did it) a matter of just running code directly on an FPGA and it being faster. If you want to get any kind of performance you've got to think really hard about exactly how your code maps onto the hardware (adds, multiplies, etc) when you write it.

    Did you have anything particular in mind that you wanted to use it for?

  • Oh man. I'm also interested in what you wanted to use this for :)

    I think the way to go would be to use the Espruino as a SPI interface to it's configuration memory. Have a look at the fpga-shield and the build log :)

    There are things like SystemC and other CtoHDL projects that I've found utter crap after trying anything but the samples they provide. They're fun and all, but even for an amateur like me, you quickly get to a blocking point.
    Did the project you worked on @Gordon compile C into opcodes for a soft core, or did you try to make a C to HDL thingy?

    I like how approaches things. I've not tried it yet.

    In the end, FPGAs are configured; not programmed.

  • The thing I worked on did both actually - it'd create HDL based on the code you provided, and would make opcodes for that special soft core, but in a relatively optimised way.

    It gave a neat little report of all the ALUs and their usage each clock cycle, and then you could use macros to give the compiler hints, like 'do this add on that adder unit'.

    ... so it effectively let you design the processor and a VLIW code in parallel. As I understood it, it made it into Altera's set of tools soon after I left - but it's been 10 years since so I have no idea what's happened to it now!

  • Sounds very cool. Sounds like an even more adaptive Nios 2 softcore + compiler? Interesting stuff this is :)

  • Kind of - as far as I remember there was no actual description of the core, it was just one C++ file. I guess rather than a CPU designer, it was more of a way of designing hugely pipelined systems (while validating them very quickly by compiling to C).

    Every variable represented a register and you could define how many bits was in each one, and what was attached to them (multiply, add, etc). Then, if you do myvariable = a*b it'd do a multiply using that multiplier (and any maths that you didn't tag would get assigned to the most suitable ALU available, or one would get made).

    While you could just write C, you had to be prepared to look at the reports of hardware utilisation to get something working well - but when you did you could make something really fast and efficient - because you were designing a pipelined system you could get the clock rate right up near the maximum the FPGA could handle, with pretty much full utilisation.

    I wish I could find it now, but I did a quick google and came up blank :(

    It's the kind of thing that'd be really cool now - with that little bit more processing power it could run the compiler in the background and could give you a live update of exactly how your code mapped to hardware.

  • "wow" ^^ !

    I'm overwhelmed by all those great answers ;)

    @alexanderbrevig "FPGAs are configured; not programmed." -> indeed, and maybe I'm too scared to digg in lengty docs .. although I'll sure take a look at the fpga-shield & build log stuff :)

  • If I actually had any free time, I'd love to reimplement what we'd done at Altera, but as an online tool using JS. It'd be a lot easier given all the nice parsing and type inference tools there are now.

    Sadly I don't have time, and Altera (being a US company) would probably sue the hell out of me if I did :)

  • This new tool creates fpga logic in JSON before turning it into Verilog. Getting closer?-an-open-source-graphical-fgpa-tool/

    I suppose it wouldn't be so hard to fire off JSON to a server to transform into a bitstream, kind of like compiled code on the espruino.

  • Hi there !

    thanks !
    I did see this & sent myself a mail to digg it, but yet didn't took the time to even watch the video ..
    .. and I just did: this tool seems pretty cool, especially when I saw the code tab pop ;)

    'll have to digg that too :)

    nb: I'd love to see some algo that organizes the mess left once you've done some concluding tests with the FPGA used ( not personally a fan of "linked nodes" UIs, but maybe it's caused by some known nib builder .. ;p )

Hello, I've been having a strange problem for a little over a week now. I'll be using the computer and all of a sudden it will freeze. After about 10 seconds the screen goes black and comes back up looking like it does when it's in safe mode. There's a message on the screen that says, windows has recovered from a device error and it tells me to restart. I am still able to use it but I always restart because everything is so big. I haven't installed any new hardware or software so I'm not sure what it is. It sometimes does it several times in one hour. It has also worked fine for up to 6 hours and then does it.

I am running XP home edition, abit kt7a, 80 gig hd and 40 gig hd. I have 2 cdrw drives also. I'm not sure what other info to add.

Any help would be appreciated.

Solved filter preset bug
Try the following filter presets:
    "2010s" : [ {
      "id" : "movieDecades",
      "state" : "ACTIVE",
      "filterValue" : "[\"2010s\"]"
    } ],
    "genre" : [ {
      "id" : "movieGenre",
      "state" : "ACTIVE_NEGATIVE",
      "filterValue" : "[\"DOCUMENTARY\",\"SHORT\"]"
    } ],

Then notice if you change from "genre" preset to "2010s" preset, the negative genre selection still applies.
Looks like the bug only occurs if the previously used preset contains a negative selection.
okay, this just looks like a "redraw" issue - the selection works well, just the exclusion is still drawn (just move the mouse above the checkbox and it gets redrawn the right way). I will fix that for the next version

micropython logging to CSV

  • Hi there,

    I am working on a device which suppose to log values, and I want to store the result in CSV format, for easier handling from code and for the future.
    I found a handy python library for that (csv), but VS cannot import that library. Is it possible that csv library has not been ported to micropython? Can you recommend me a solution or a workaround? Am I doing it the "right way" or there is some other best practices?

  • @eric73 I am just creating the file and the first row, in my mind that's belongs to initialization. But correct me if not.
    Okay than I just use the basic file operations.
    Thank you! :)

  • @tttadam boot.py is not the rigth place to have some code running, keep this file only for startup board setting (bluetooth and wifi) and place your code in main.py or other file (not mandatory but a good practice).

    CSV is no more than several ascii string line write i a file with a separator (popular is ',' or ';') between value. CVS module from python provide a lot of helper function to do advance stuff on CSV file, if you only :
    Write first line of your file with name colomn of your field (ex: Time,temp,Sensor name) (not mandatory but a good practive to name your field for post-processing)
    Then write the followings lines with value
    Then you have a perfectly valid CSV file you can open in PC with OpenOffice Calc for exemple.

  • @eric73 Thank you for making it clear for me. My intention was never to store the data on flash.
    I forget the mention that I will store the data on sd card. I think there is a plenty of space there.

    This is error what I get:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "boot.py", line 3, in <module>
    ImportError: cannot import name csv

  • @tttadam CSV is unefficient way to store data
    ex: to store the value 100 you use 3 octet plus a comma sign as separator (4 bytes to store a value that fit in one byte!)
    In embedded system memory (even for storage) is expensive !
    The better way to store your value is to pack it in binary form (using ustruct micropython module) and write this binary package in your file.
    You can simply on PC side, write a little software in python that unpack your embedded file to csv

Bug Bug: Cursor always visible during gameplay

Hey, the only "bug" I've found so far is that the cursor remains on screen in actual gameplay although it isn't needed. Would be cool if you could fade it out during gameplay. Another thing: Some more graphics adjustment options would be nice.

Leather seats

    Would you think leather seats are better than the standard cloth material seats?

    I have a tiguan ordered for end of may delivery with normal seats.

    The dealership says the car is built waiting in a lockup.  Is it still possible to upgrade to leather seats and if so what would be the price?

    Any advice would be great

    you do worry me mike11 lol.

    i do like the  “lounge” leather in my mini 3dr and havent had any of the problems stated but had it not been standard in the car i doubt i would have paid the over £1000. it costs as an extra. i also waited a month to get to see the real thing in a car rather than just the small samples they had in the showroom.the dealer was good as well in getting a demonstrator so i could see things in the flesh. they even arranged test drives in a cooper auto and a cooper s auto so i could see what the difference was.

    #74911 Reply

    I guess if they make the seats heated and cooled that could negate some of the issues but it still stands that when it’s freezing the seats are still like ice until they’ve had a bit to warm up and I’m sure that’s going to be the same when they’re red hot as well, I’ll stick to not giving the dealers their bonus payment for an option I don’t need or want.

    #74912 Reply

    Speaking of a demonstrator I have been trying to have a look at a Peugeot Rifter and Citroen Berlingo for the last 3 months and none of the dealers even have one in I can just look at/sit in never mind get a test drive.

    I asked how they were doing on sales when they didn’t have any cars for people to see/drive and at first they said “sales were on target” but after a bit of banter back and forth they admitted to net selling any as nobody is going to buy a car they’ve never even seen let alone sat in/driven, ridiculous!

    #74914 Reply

    i was lucky in that chesterfield mini went out of their way to get me the autos to test drive and to see a car with the leather etc that the car came with. other dealers i couldnt even get a test drive in their auto version of cars i was looking at.obviously they didnt get an order.

    As someone who needs leather seats to make it easier to transfer from and to a wheelchair, I looked for a car that already came with leather seats in the AP price rather than having to fork out about £1,000 – £1,200 as an optional extra. If a Motability car is stolen or written off in an accident the car will be replaced however without the optional extra £1,200 leather seats, so best to be part of the original AP.

    I would agree that If not needed, I would not be bothered whether they were leather or not and they are cold in the winter, although my Kia Optima has heated seats front and rear which heat up quickly with the leather steering wheel. The front seats are also electronically cooled.

    As far as the leather content, they are like most if not all leather seats, the facing back and seat is leather with the sides and outer back, imitation leather.

    Talking of leather content, my father was an upholsterer and when I was picking cover to get my three piece suite, a few years back, I was amazed to be told by the owner of the upholstery cover warehouse, that for them to be able to call the leather cover, “Leather”, it only has to have 5% leather content in it.

    This probably accounts for the shops being able to sell so called leather suits so cheaply nowadays. Forty or Fifty years ago they were made from real hide skins which do not come in rolls and do come with imperfections in the skins, which puts the cost up.

    But as said, cloth material is just fine unless leather is needed for medical reasons.

  1. That's the one!! Great find. Yeah. The terrain is awesome, it looks completely barren but it's spotted with "hidden" oases that sprout where the springs are .
  2. Another interesting bit - the truck had what I think were shotgun holes in the doors/body. Figure they were from a bloke doing some target practice, but perhaps they have a more sinister origin.
  3. Exactly, was the last shot on my disposable camera
  4. Checks out. There were several crop circles in the palm groves nearby. Thanks for the great information. There was pretty much a full (but thoroughly messed up) frame, but I was so focussed on the casting number I forgot to take a picture of the entire thing 😑. It was nowhere near a road and pretty much looked like it drove off a cliff. I hope the aliens beamed the driver up before impact.
  5. Hello car experts, I was recently hiking in California near Pushwalla Palms and Hidden Horseshoe and came across the rusted and mangled wreckage of an old truck. I'm trying to identify the make and model, but I know very little about antique vehicles - I hope one of you can help. I didn't take a photo of the whole truck, only the Serial Number I found on the chassis. See attached photo. The wreckage was at the following coordinates 33°49'39.2"N 116°16'53.0"W It's a mystery that I think has a slim chance of being solved, but there's a story about what happened to this truck and it just might be fascinating!

Thinking through Dr Seuss and Fox News cancel culture

Postby Stephen Fox » Thu Mar 04, 2021 4:21 pm

Tucker Carlson poison and distortions are a much greater threat to America than over reaches of what he and his venal cohorts have contrived as cancel culture. There are over reaches like some of the thinking about Dr. Seuss. I found the most eggregious to be the cancel of Flannery Oconnor at one Catholic school.

I think O connor woulda been pro life and pro Planned Parenthood were she with us today. Like Dot Day of whom PBS will have a doc on Monday, both I am convinced would line up with Pope Francis political calculus which to make it simple would take Biden over Trump and Coons over McConnell.

I read the very good piece in today's NY Times, yes Thornton, the whole thing, every word.

I pretty much agree with these comments the article provoked.

The book-stealing Grinch was so terribly Woke
That the folks of the Town thought of him as a Joke!
Then the Library closed, there was no midday Song
While the Books shook in Fear that their Words were all Wrong!
"We're your Past," they all cried. "Don't let us all Burn!"
But without them, the Townsfolk no longer could Learn.

Sometimes some things deserve to be cancelled.
It's not as though any of these books won't be available somewhere, but not every book needs to be in general circulation forever. Times change. Our understanding of things change. What was once considered appropriate changes. Sometimes we come to understand that things that were once seen as benign really weren't. Humor, in particular, doesn't always age well. I'm a big fan of Dr. Seuss, but some of his stuff simply doesn't cut it in the 21st century. If these were adult books intended for adults it would be different, but the target audience here is children. Very young children. They don't need to be exposed to the casual cultural insensitivity of the pass.

"And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street" is one of my earliest literary memories as a child. I remember how fun and funny it was, how detailed and absorbing the hand drawings were. I remember reading it with my dad, and my two brothers. This still remains one of the most beloved books of my early childhood. I bought a copy for my niece when she was a toddler.

I am Asian (Chinese-American). My parents were immigrants. I didn't even remember the mention of the Chinese mandarin figure, until this whole issue exploded. I'm absolutely sure that it came across to five-year-old me as a quaint, silly, imaginary type of being, someone with no basis in reality and with no connection to real life, or to myself. You Dr. Seuss books in general (and many others geared towards kids of that age). Yes, even a child of five can understand when something is meant to be mean or hurtful, versus when it is not. Or that someone's attitude can be an unfortunate product of their times, not a reflection of their inner depravity. I would ask: how many of you really think that if you had been born and raised in previous generations, that you would have been as "woke" as you are today?

I am pretty liberal in most respects. But more and more nowadays, I fear that political correctness has just been taken too far.

“Banning books,” puts an intentional, and simplistic, pejorative spin on what is actually a complex issue. It is one thing to consider banning books meant for adults, and quite another to regulate access to books that are most often intended for very young children. Dr. Seuss books would clearly fall in that latter category, even though adults often enjoy their clever humor.

Cultural attitudes clearly change over time, but art often lasts past those changes. Attitudes toward other cultures have certainly changed over my lifetime. I’m 70 and I clearly remember hearing my grandfather make comments that would not pass muster today. He was born in 1896, and so grew up as a white person in a culture that was very different than the one today. Those have been needed changes, yet I have to say that I can hold two thoughts in my head: my grandfather had the ideas he had, and we have less simplistic notions about race, culture, and identity now than he did then.

Dr. Seuss didn’t grow up in the culture that prevails today, so his work reflects a different perspective on these issues. Banning shouldn’t be the solution. Yet that said, carefully controlling the ways in which children are now exposed to those works is not an evil undermining of artistic integrity. It is simply a cautious curating of an historic, as well as artistic, legacy, especially since is is being done by the owner of the content, not the government.

How do our future generations 'study' history accurately when it is being edited? This idea seems contradictory. Every country, including ours, has many parts of their past that are ugly, violent, racist, and unfair. The nationwide sentiment to 'shield our collective eyes' from the past is irresponsible, insecure, and dangerous.

Texas’s power disaster is a warning sign for the US

Texas’s grid itself is not what failed. Power went out across Texas in the first place because energy sources across the state were unprepared for severe weather. And that didn’t have to happen; Texas had been warned about this exact scenario and had actually experienced versions of it twice in the past 30 years. But the state didn’t prepare.

Now the rest of the US faces the same issue. Climate change is making severe weather disasters more and more frequent. And the American energy system is not ready for it.

Weather disasters have been a risk for 1000's of years. The fact that they weren't prepared is a human factor and nothing to do with climate change. Climate has ALWAYS changed.

Round 9 ...

Anne of Green Gables is a 1908 novel by Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery (published as L.M. Montgomery). Written for all ages, it has been considered a classic children's novel since the mid-twentieth century. Set in the late 19th century, the novel recounts the adventures of Anne Shirley, an 11-year-old orphan girl, who is mistakenly sent to two middle-aged siblings, Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, who had originally intended to adopt a boy to help them on their farm in the fictional town of Avonlea in Prince Edward Island, Canada. The novel recounts how Anne makes her way through life with the Cuthberts, in school, and within the town. Since its publication, Anne of Green Gables has been translated into at least 36 languages and has sold more than 50 million copies, making it one of the best selling books worldwide.

Comment: I had never even thought about reading this book. But a few years ago my granddaughter was reading it and was surprised that that I'd never read it. So of course then I had to. It was a good book, but definitely one for younger readers.

BTW, I've also never read any of the Nancy Drew books ... LOL

Good one, Tammy

My go-to cookbook for over 50 years. I got mine in 1970 when I got married. My daughter-in-law has one - a much new version - and the recipes are sooooo different. Healthier versions ... LOL

Now I find myself looking for newer, healthier recipes on the internet. But I still go back to this cookbook for some things ... measurements, substitutions, etc.

The series is named after its protagonist, an anti-heroic thief, inspired by several previous pulp fiction characters from Italy and other countries. Its stories consist of monthly black-and-white, digest-sized volumes)

Jeep Cherokee Grand Cherokee Noises and Sounds

  • tidestertidester Member Posts: 10,059
    Is the tapping regular? Does its frequency change with engine speed? Could it just be thermal expansion while the engine or exhaust manifold are heating?

  • jaco4jaco4 Member Posts: 5
    I am the one with the 2004 Grand Cherokee. I turned :confuse: the air conditioner off. Still makes this tapping sound. As you go
    faster the tapping sound also goes faster. Only happens
    on first time start up. Antbody else have this problem?
    Please advise.
  • jaco4jaco4 Member Posts: 5
    Yes the tapping sound is regular only in the first start up.
    It does change frequency with engine speed. I read that someone mention using this Marvel Mystery Oil,should i use it?
    I found new "evidence',this stops when the oil gauge reaches
    210 ,which is normal? I need more advice from somebody please?

  • 3rdjeepowner3rdjeepowner Member Posts: 6
    I am new at this and my skills in mechanical repairs are limited. But I have spend many hours reading just what could go wrong with my Cherokee Sport, and how much the part would cost. One site I was on recommended replacing this part to stop a tapping sound on cold engines. The part did not look that large, almost like a short pipe, located somewhere near the transmission. I hope the experts can gleam something from what little I have added. Good luck. 3rdjpowner :D
  • jaco4jaco4 Member Posts: 5
    I am the one who has the 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 40,000 miles and has that tapping sound. It is only on the first start,last s about 20 or 30 minutes then goes away.
    The tapping is a regular,every morning and yes the sound goes faster when the acelarator is pushed down. I really need some suggestions! Please! :confuse:

  • jeepnoisejeepnoise Member Posts: 1
    I have a 2002 JGC with 100,000 miles. It is now making a sound like the one you would hear if you put a baseball card in the spokes of bicycle wheel. The sound is loudest at the gear shift lever. It comes on when I take my foot off the accelerator, gets louder as I brake, and also comes on when the Jeep goes over a dip in the road. It does not sound when I accelerate, when I'm in reverse, or when the front drive shaft is out. So far we have checked the transmission, put in a different transfer case, put in a different drive shaft, and taken out the dust filters on both ends of the drive shaft. Everyone who has worked on it is now out of ideas. Can anyone out there solve this mystery?
  • mmelkimmelki Member Posts: 4
    I have a completely stock Jeep Cherokee 2000, no lift, no big tires, ALL STOCK. I just changed the track bar, steering stabilizer shock, drivers front U-joint and drivers front ball joints(upper and lower) and a steering alignment. I have "death wobble". What I want to know is why my Jeep makes a clunking sound when I turn at slower speeds, 1mph-25mph. It loves to make the noise when sharper turns are made. What could it be? Also noted I experienced a "death wobble" one week ago and it shook my steering wheel crooked, which is now fixed. Since then my 4 wheel drive light doesn't turn on anymore but the 4 wheel drive low and high both work properly. I don't care about the "death wobble" anymore, I just want to elimate the sound that it is making when I turn so that I can trade in my Jeep and return the favor to the dealership. Thank you in advance. If you would like you can email me @ [email protected]

  • jaco4jaco4 Member Posts: 5
    I am the 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee that had the mysterious
    tappin sound that would only be present on a first start up
    and would last about 30 minutes. Well this got progressively
    worse where every start up I would hear this sound! The sound still goes away at 1500 RPM. I took it to the Jeep dealer,they said it was an emission leak,needed new hoses! Another mechanics told me to live with it! I went to 4 mechanics that told me everything from piston slapping to my lifters! The solution. I went to another small shop. This gentleman worked 20 years for Jeep. He knew right off the bat what it was! Now guys and girls if you have this tapping sound like mine ,check to replace your EVAP PURGE SOLENOID!
    Thing runs like a top! :) Thanks to all that gave me suggestions! Nice site!

    Noise, rattles coming from back of my 1999 Grand Cherokee,
    mostly when going over small bumps, sounds like interior panels, head liner or rear hatch

    I installed some long sheet metal screws in side panels, this helped reduce the noises.

    My 1999 Grand Cherokee makes a loud craking sound when door is opened and closed. its is caused by a broken door stop

    has anyone replaced or fixed this problem without going to the dealer?

    Can anyone tell me how to replace the rear wheel bearings and seal on a 97 JGC 4 wheel drive.
  • cheifdoncheifdon Member Posts: 1
    Did you find out the problem with your jeep. I had the same problem. I have since changed the motor mounts, transfer case, and both front end barons. Talk about getting ripped off, it's still there. Very weird, when I let off the gas it make the noise in the front drivers side under the hood. It sounds like it's in the front axle.
  • bluecrushbluecrush Member Posts: 1
    Just this morning, while I was going over a bump, it sounded like something on my car was hitting the ground and it was scraping it. I don’t know what it is, but it’s a loud noise. It sounds like it’s coming from my LF and the sound is only when I go over large bumps (Speed bumps) or potholes. Anybody have any idea what it might be?
  • tuggajbtuggajb Member Posts: 646
    if it is 4x4 i would check the front wheel bearings if only one has goon bad could make noise you say

    I have an 04 Jeep Grand Cherokee that I just bought used at 45,000 miles. The steering is making a funny whistling noise when I turn. It sounds like you can change the pitch by slightly turning the wheel in either direction when it is doing this. Fluid is full and no problems exist with steering capabilities. Anyone have a problem such as mine?
  • oakley3oakley3 Member Posts: 2
    Please help.

    My Jeep is a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

    I hear a hissing and/or whooshing sound as soon as I start the engine. The sound seems to be coming from under the dash by the brake booster.

    When I press down on the brake pedal at any time, the hissing/whooshing sound stops. But when I release the brake pedal, then step on the gas pedal, the sound starts again.

    The braking system works great.

    Any advice???
    Please help. Sure would appreciate it!!!
  • summerfield1summerfield1 Member Posts: 2
    I'm having a similar problem with my '04 Cherokee 4.0 ltr I-6. I can't get the belt to stop squeaking! I've replace the idler arm tensioner and pulley, the power steering pulley, the alternator, and the belt 3 times. It quits squeaking for a few days, then it comes back. Sometimes its a faint "chirp, chirp, chirp", other times it screams!Frusterating!
  • steverstever Guest Posts: 52,457
    I forgot where I saw it now, but some belts (Gates, iirc) have logos that are painted onto the belts. The paint can cause chirping. Putting belt dressing on the belt will mask the symptoms for a few days until the dressing wears off.

    I'll see if I can find that link....

    [edit] ah, here it is - worth a shot:

    Hey guys, I have recently noticed a loud clunking sound in the front end when I go over bumps. I also can feel it under my feet. :confuse: It has gotten louder over the last 2 weeks. I thought it might be due to the frigid temps here in central Illinois, but I only have about 700 miles left on my warranty, and naturally the dealer can't get me in until next week. They are and have been worthless :mad: Has anyone experienced this problem??? I am worried that the warranty will expire before I get it in and I will get royally F*%ked. Thanks for your assistance!!
  • conormconorm Member Posts: 1
    I have an '04 grand cherokee and it makes this odd, intermittent, grinding metal noise (as if my muffler were scraping along the ground as I drive... but its not). It sounds like its coming from the rear end around the diff, although I just had the diff replaced not too long ago at a shop. Nothing appeared to be out of place so I've waved it off as something maybe getting stuck around my wheels. Just wanted to know if any of you guys have experienced this or know what it could be.

    Input would be much appreciated!!

  • jamzusajamzusa Member Posts: 7
    I agree fully with you. Sounds like this guy knows nothing about cars at all to describe what he just did as I haven't a clue what it would be by that description.... You need to do some investigating unless you have an endless bank account and can afford a mechanic to, probably, rip you off diagnosing it as he'll see for sure you know nothing and are an easy target. This almost sounds like a blonde woman describing her car issue.... Sorry but you need to educate yourself on your own car more. That's my advice. That description helps nothing to solve your problem from my standpoint.
  • jamzusajamzusa Member Posts: 7
    About half a year ago or more I accidently downshifted, I had borrowed a stick shift pickup and was in the habit of shifting so..., into reverse and my Jeep slammed into reverse jarring the engine extremely. After that a clanking noise started here and there in the lower part of the engine. It wasn't constant but now and then it would clang like something hitting something there. Someone said it might be the flywheel. I don't know what it is but just starting today it's like it's coming loose, whatever it is, and it's clanging around at low rpm's. I'm afraid it'll come off, whatever it is, then I'll have a HUGE problem. Anyone know what damage I did and what it is that's loose? I'm sure it's simple but I need to know so I can get it fixed. I don't want a garage to rip me off. I very much appreciate this as I need to get it done asap! I'm afraid to drive it much now. Thank you for your help!
  • tidestertidester Member Posts: 10,059

  • dixiecrawlerdixiecrawler Member Posts: 89
    Just how fast were you going when you shifted into reverse? Very slow, I hope! That would have caused the least amount of damage. It could be a lot of things, including the flywheel. You really should have had that checked out right after you did it. The longer something is allowed to go on, the worse the damage gets, which could mean one thing coming apart and doing severe damage to surrounding or attached parts. I'm sorry if this is scaring you a little, but without really looking at it, it's hard to say what it could be. What year and model Jeep is it? Is it 2 or 4-wheel drive and which motor do you have? Let us know and maybe someone here can help possibly pinpoint the problem.
  • jamzusajamzusa Member Posts: 7
    Thanks for the input. It's a 1991 Jeep Cherokee Larado, straight 6, 4-wheel drive. It wasn't going too fast, around 35 or so. Stupid move, I know. Either way, I understand what you're saying. I didn't have it checked as it didn't do anything other than make a noise every now and then but you are right. It will get worse and worse and could cause damage to other things which is what it might be doing now clanging around. I'm guessing it might be a loose flywheel, the bolts sheared off or something. The mechanic is going to look at it on Tuesday. it drives fine other than that noise at idle and gets worse at a low idle, obviously something's loose and doesn't wobble when the speed increases because of centrifigal force. I appreciate your input very much!
  • tknapptknapp Member Posts: 1
    I have a 2001 Jeep Grand cherokee Limited. V8 4.7L. For about 5 months now it has been making this annoying humming sound from the back. You cant hear it from the outside unless you put your head right by the back right wheel area. I took it to a mechanic and he said it could be the fuel pump. So I had the fuel pump replaced. Didn't fix the noise. It is still the same. It sounds like it could have definatly been the pump but since replacing it didnt work I am at a loss. If you open the back, you can hear it the worst. It hums when im in park and very lightly when going 10-30mph and almost unhearable at higher speeds.
    the mechanic says some cars just have noisy fuel pumps. well he replaced it with a brand new one, so why is it still noisy?
    Do you have any suggestions to as what it might be?
    Thank You.

    need a little help. i have a 2004 jgc with 38,000 miles with a annoying noise coming from the rear.when i go over bumps around 30 mhr or faster sounds like something is loose. i have checked everything.sway bar links. shocks. rear gate. spare tire. I'm about to bring it to the shop. next question I'm getting about 16 miles a gallon is that about right 4.0L. the other question should i use synthetic oil in the motor to prolong its life or is it a waste of money

    its a 99 grand cherokee. i have this rattling noise in the rear end, every time i hit a bump or even a crack in the road it acts up. at first i thought it might be the shocks, so i replaced them, then i thought it was the rear sway bar link, i just replaced them today and the noise is still there, its getting very annoying, any tips...
  • tuggajbtuggajb Member Posts: 646
    there is a ball joint on top of thr rear axel that could be loose
  • ed04ed04 Member Posts: 9
    ya i notice that looker ok. i think i might take a look at the shocks first. what are everyone views on synthetic vs reg oil
  • jamzusajamzusa Member Posts: 7
    I see you don't have any experience or knowledge of oil.... Most people know synthetic oil is better. I don't know, off hand, the technical in's and out's but it is and if you want to do one better put Dura Lube in. It coats the engine and works that well that one time I put a remanufactured engine in a car and thought I'd put that stuff in right off so it'd last forever.... well, it never broke in as there was NO wear whatsoever so, case in point. Get synthetic oil and put Dura Lube in... You're all set! I promise.
  • dixiecrawlerdixiecrawler Member Posts: 89
    This person is referring to the balljoint on the triangulated upper rear link at the axle. You can't just look at it and see whether or not it's bad! I guarantee you that is your problem. These things wear out over time. This is very common on WJ's after a few years.
  • ed04ed04 Member Posts: 9
    thanks for the response! can i change that upper triangular ball joint my self? what i mean do i need any special tools
  • dixiecrawlerdixiecrawler Member Posts: 89
    Most people only KNOW it's better because it SOUNDS better and COSTS more. The truth is that it is better, but it may not necessarily be better for YOU! For example, you decide to start using fully synthetic oil in your motor and you notice it starts easier, it runs cooler, and you could possibly even get one more mile per gallon out of a tank of gas. Then you start to notice that oil spot in your driveway. Your engine may have had a tiny oil leak before that took days to even drip to the ground. You knew about it, but it was very minor. Now it leaks worse than before, and possibly even in other places that didn't leak before! What makes it so good for your engines internals can also seep through tiny gaps in seals and gaskets that your old oil couldn't "fit" through. This difference between your old oil and synthetics is on the molecular level, where it really counts. Fully synthetic oils have a very uniform molecular structure that allow them to flow easily with very little resistance. Conventional oils contain molecules of different sizes and shapes which can't flow as freely. It's like comparing sand to chert. Conventional oils aren't "bad" for your motor, they just break down faster and have to be replaced in order to continue providing protection for your motor. I hope this somehow makes sense to you.
  • dixiecrawlerdixiecrawler Member Posts: 89
    Yes, you should be able to handle it. The only special tool you will need, other than a floor jack, is a "picklefork" type balljoint separator to separate the upper link from the balljoint stud located on top of the differential housing.
  • ed04ed04 Member Posts: 9
    god i love this web site thank you for all the info! i wanted and suv and i hope my 04 jgc brings me alot of luck. one more question guys any way to check that ball joint?
  • ed04ed04 Member Posts: 9
    sorry what i mean is is there a way to tell if its bad
  • ed04ed04 Member Posts: 9
    its a 2004 do you think the rear ball joint is bad its only has 38000
  • dixiecrawlerdixiecrawler Member Posts: 89
    Check the balljoint boot for damage such as tears or cracks and check for looseness or rough movement. You can do this by either getting someone to push on the rear of the truck from side to side while you watch the joint (of course, the tranny will be in park and the emergency brake will be set, right?!) or put your floor jack under the diff, raise the rear off the ground and move the axle around to see if you can tell (and, of course, you will not be under the truck unless the chassis is supported by jackstands, right?!). Sometimes you might not be able to tell, but if you've already replaced the shocks, that balljoint will be your problem. If you haven't replaced the shocks, remove them and then drive over some bumps and see if you still hear the rattle (be careful if you do this, and don't go far because driving without the shocks is dangerous and it will handle like a wet noodle). Only do this if you haven't replaced your rear shocks and you need to eliminate them as being the culprit! I'm confident, though, that the balljoint is the problem. By the way, you made a good choice with the Grand Cherokee (WJ). I have a '00 GC that I'm dropping an '03 GC motor in in the morning, and the motor swap is not due to the vehicle being a piece of crap, but because the previous owner was an idiot! I also bought my wife a '06 Commander and I just sold my '88 Wrangler (we had a baby) that I built into a hell of a rockcrawler and am currently on the lookout for my next Jeep project/toy. Jeep hasn't let me down and I hope your experience is the same! Anyway, I hope I was helpful to you, so let me know how it turns out. Also, if you have anymore questions let me know. I'll check back tomorrow.

      Most military pilots in the U.S are the same way before 9/11....they would join the air force or navy to be trained to fly for no cost, just sign a contract that they have your ass for 6, fly, fly, log hours and gain experience and then once your time is done, get out and apply with the airlines..the best way to do it, if your eyes are good enough and are phyiscally fit, they'll accept ya no matter what....right now, with pilots being furloughed in the airline industry 'cept for ExpressJet since they're hiring mad right now, pilots in the military are now staying in...which is smart move. You should make it a career since you're still young and decide 20 years later if you want to fly with the airlines.

Identity Crisis with Atheros chipset

Recommended Posts

I was given a Atheros wireless card. It has AR5BXB72 written on it. I assume from all the reading I've done that it is a AR5008 but I'm not sure. It's serial number is: 6287T037471A. It also says Askey Computer Corporation and Toshiba Corporation. I live in a remote part of Mexico so I'm lucky to have the Atheros card to replace my faulty one. I see that there are a lot of variations of AR5008. Can anyone help me pin down which I have from the info I supplied. The internet down here isn't fast so I just need this to access wirelessly, nothing fancy. Can anyone recommend a basic download for the driver and what ever else I'll need to get it installed. My operating system is XP PRO with SP3. I'm really happy to have found this site. I read a lot of confusing information before I stumbled on this forum. Any and All information will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I was browsing through system summary/loaded modules and came across a lot of files for antheros. They were all version and were downloaded 6/4/2011. I had my computer being worked on at that time but nothing was said about installing atheros drivers. Does this mean another chip was used in my computer during this time? The current chip is intel. I looked up atheros drivers and there is an for xp. Will this work with my chipset and also how do I access the driver?

Make Opera GX touch friendly

  • Would like to use touch in Opera GX. To navigate back / forward and potentially make buttons a tad larger to push them (for example refresh).

    In Edge I can use touch gestures (back/forward) - works out of the box and UI is pretty big. Same thing in Chrome (a small blue arrow appears on back gesture). Additionally, in Chrome you can make the buttons and tabs bigger chrome://flags#top-chrome-md.

    Considering Opera pioneered mouse gestures, its very odd they are behind the curve here, especially considering using the same (Chromium) engine...

  • @silverbot

    Whats even weirder is that we now start to have "on-mouse-hover" features like the Music Controls. What should I do without mouse? Try to press the small music icon with finger to open side pane and then click on music control? Pretty aggressively anti touch

  • Great! GX now has swipe to back/forward! Much appreciated!

    No, unpossible; every single one of the graduates of Teh Zed School of Law tells us that the bill is an absolutely horrible thing and will destroy ham radio and it's the ARRL's fault and besides, anyone who supports is a cheating welsher of bad morals and poor character.

    I'm curious; did these Teh Zed Paragons of Virtue bitch, whine, piss, and moan as much about PRB-1? About OTARD? I could see them doing that about PRB-1 because the ARRL was behind that, but OTARD had nothing to do with the League and it was a much greater imposition on Holy Private Contracts.

    Besides, anyone who looked into the racist & bigoted history of CC&Rs and HOAs should, if they were of good character, immediately oppose CC&Rs and HOAs in every way with every fiber of their being.

    YA. I forgot to add reception. If you can't hear them--you can't work them. Those innate, obstructive, unsightly radio antennas can work wonders in establishing two-way contacts. I happen to have TWO such antennas on my property.

    My HOA was fine with all kinds of wires I attempted in my back yard. Unfortunately none of them made a good antenna. I find myself operating portable if I'm interested in operating HF. Oh the stealth wires work...but nothing like a similar inverted vee in the field. By the way I'm enjoying your laundry reel idea. It's a great portable!

Reloading Hang-up

Recommended Posts

I was loading .45 ACP rounds last night - something I have done innumerable times without a hitch on this machine. I started out with new Federal brass, and after the problem arose, switched to new Winchester brass - no difference.

The problem occurs under the powder die; the case seems to be sticking inside the die, and I need two hands to pull the handle back up and extract the case from the die.

I'm using Dillon carbide dies; I do not lubricate. Never been an issue previously. No marks or distortions on the cases after loading - just stiff reistance to moving the handle, and a scraping/grinding feeling as I force it back up.

Much appreciated.

If this is fired brass, it sounds like you have come across some brass that has been fired in a slightly over sized chamber. It maybe expanded more than your past brass. If this is the case, try some spray lube and run the brass through to bring it back to spec.

Also clean the sizing die if you haven't. Crud can build up on the inside and make sizing brass more difficult. This crud will be smooth and very polished so you may not see it just looking through the die.

It's because it's NEW brass.

Fired brass has a coating on the inside of the case. Burnt powder and graphite. This acts as a lubricant.

Squeaky-clean NEW brass, has no coating. The brass sticks to the steel (or aluminum, depending on who made your dies) expander.

Every time I use NEW brass, I have to pull harder to get it off the expander. Once it's been fired, and has that nice little coating, the problem goes away.

edit: I'm assuming that your "powder die" is like the Lee one - a hollow expander, and it bells and charges on the same stroke?

Check the die to be certain that it is clean. Sometimes residue will build up over time.

Clean and dry and maybe a touch of case lube on the first go around. Then clean again.

A bright flashlight is your friend here.

I use Imperial sizing wax with a light, very light coat on my fingers and then a q tip with

a very light coating in the inside. Be sure to clean the die after use of wax.

New brass is famous for being out of spec. Even if the Manufacture says it isn't so. It is so.

The new brass has never been expanded, and the expander die is being gripped tightly by the case mouth. Polish the expander to a very slick finish and the problem will lessen or go away entirely.

I see & hear spirits

  • i really don't come onto these forums - however lately i am beginning to see & hear more spirits. I am not nervous or scared when this happens, my body also indicates when there is a presence. I don't think i am in tune with the other side or any thing, but the worrying thing is that i can not control when or where it happens.

    My mother has schizophrenia and has see and heard voices and is on heavy medication for this, but my grand mother was a medium and often held seances.

    The reason i know i am not crackers ;-/ is because when i do see and hear spirits i have had eight different friends with me when something has manifested, be it a vision, or sound. They have only ever experienced this phenomenon around me, but i have also had lone encounters.

    I suppose i am just looking for that proverbial answer - to help me understand what is going on.

    The only way i can describe these encounters it that be it visual or audio - time feels relative. (the encounter probably lasts between 5 to 20 seconds, but it feels like 5 - 20 minute has passed). I can feel a presence around my body and the hairs on my arms may stand bolt up for the time period of the encounter.

    I am really not sure what to do about it all, or what to make of it to be honest.

    I was given a psychic circle board by a friend i used to work with, and have used it to commune with spirits, with surprising accuracy as the information shared to others whom participated no one could have known, and i have also made skeptics wonder, is there something? I read that if you were given a board then you were meant to have it and use it? Another friend also bought me tarot cards and they seem to be working well also, i practice on friends of friends, then i don't know anything about them.

    I have been like this since approximately 13 years of age. This is another strange thing. In my family there is a 13 year gap between my younger cousin Emma, and a 13year gap between me and Emma mother Joanne. there is a 13 year gap between Joanne, and my mum, and a 13 year gap between my mum and my aunty (her sister). and it goes on for another 3 generations.

    I suppose you can read to much into things in life, but if any one does have any idea whats happening or can explain i would be grateful

    thanks Adam (",)

  • Well, I personally believe schizophrenics are really hearing spirit voices, but many in science and medicine would disagree. I think it only becomes problematic when a person begins heeding and obeying the often destructive messages they hear. Not all spirits are good and kind. You can choose to either pay it attention or ignore the voices, just like you would ignore any people's voices in a crowd. It all just means that your psychic senses are blossoming.

  • Thank you for your response 🙂

  • Hi, It's good when these things manifest so others can see, hear etc. I think that's the best validation so they, in fact, don't think you're crazy. I'm not saying to care what others think, however you'd like them to know what you're in fact experiencing. I have visual manifestations about once a year that others can see (after I show them.) This has been happening for about 15 yrs. I've had a few experiences w/spirits--lite orb. murmurings. In my personal life, with people I know, I'm very accurate with predictions about what is going to be said or done. I can be working in the house and it'll just come to me. Something that'll be said word per word. I guess I'm good at analyzing motive or reaction. It'll just hit me though. I won't even be thinking about them and it just comes.

  • I don't know why it blanked it out so I'll say I "see things."

  • yeah all sounds very familiar to me. I am thinking of opening my chakra as been told that will help 🙂

  • And always protect your self and seek your higher self or spirit guide, good luck and be safe!

  • It sounds like your chakras may already be quite open.

  • Google 'chakra test' and you will find some sites where you can find out which of your chakras are open and which ones are not.

  • Hello,

    Thanks everyone in advance for all the inputs. I believe in the spiritual realm, yes. I believe that it overlaps with our realm, so occasionally we can see them and they can see us. Usually, I feel them more than I actually see them. In dreams however, spirits become a little more tangible.

    Thanks and Cheer

    Simon Neil

Lawsuit filed in 2019 Ohio mass shooting

DAYTON, Ohio (WCMH) — A lawsuit has been filed in relation to the August 2019 mass shooting at a Dayton bar that left nine victims dead and 27 people injured.

Brady, a national gun violence prevention organization, and Cooper Elliott, a Columbus law firm, are scheduled to hold a press conference Monday to discuss the wrongful death lawsuit filed against the manufacturer of the 100-round magazine used by the shooter.

Claims in the lawsuit against the manufacturer, Kyung Chang Industry USA, Inc., and its related South Korean company, Kyungchang Industry Co., Ltd., include negligence, negligent entrustment, and public nuisance.

Brady and Cooper Elliott said they believe this to be the first lawsuit to focus on a magazine manufacturer.

Clients in the lawsuit include families of Dayton victims Derrick Fudge, Lois Oglesby, Logan Turner, and Nicole Warren-Curtis.

The shooting occurred just after 1 a.m. on Aug. 4 outside of Ned Peppers in the 400 block of East Fifth Street in Dayton. Twenty-seven people were injured and taken to area hospitals in unknown conditions.

The suspect was shot and killed by police.

Sex offender arrested in murder of 8-year-old boy 30 years after crime

Roswell police said Friday that 56-year-old James Michael Coates of Woodstock is charged with murder and aggravated child molestation in the killing of Joshua Harmon.

Police say Coates was arrested after DNA evidence linked him to the killing. Joshua was reported missing in 1988. His body was later found in a wooded area near his family’s apartment.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Coates was convicted of child molestation for a 1993 crime and served nearly 20 years behind bars for that offense.
