Jeff Cohen scored seven goals on 12 shots against Michigan Saturday (Gil Talbot).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Senior attackman Jeff Cohen, who leads Harvard and the Ivy League with 36 goals and 40 points, has earned his second Ivy League Player of the Week honor, the conference office announced.
Cohen, a native of Syosset, N.Y., scored a career-high seven goals and added an assist for a career-best eight points in Harvard's 11-7 win over Michigan March 31. Cohen, who also tallied a goal at No. 2/3 Massachusetts March 27, netted three straight Crimson goals in the third quarter against the Wolverines. He also added two man-up tallies and finished with 13 shots, including 12 on target. Cohen was also honored as Ivy Player of the Week March 19.
Cohen, who has scored at least one goal in all nine games this season, has moved to third on Harvard's all-time list with 130 career goals. He needs two more tallies to tie David Bohn '60 for first in program history. In addition, Cohen's 36 goals this spring mark a new career-high.
Harvard (5-4), which stands at 2-0 in the Ivy League, will visit No. 5/5 Cornell (7-1, 3-0 Ivy) Saturday afternoon in a crucial Ancient Eight contest at 1 p.m. in Ithaca, N.Y.

Dragonair welcomes the Air Services Arrangement (ASA) signed today between Hong Kong and Taiwan.
The ASA signifies a new milestone for the development of air services between Hong Kong and Taiwan. Dragonair believes the ASA will not only allow room to increase flights, capacity and destinations, but also encourage and stimulate traffic between the two places which will bring additional benefits and advantages for both.
Dragonair operates a total of nine daily flights to Taiwan - three to Taipei and six to Kaohsiung. With the airline's current network which covers key Asian destinations combined with the international network of sister airline Cathay Pacific, Dragonair believes the ASA will offer greater opportunities in strengthening the Cathay Pacific Group's connectivity worldwide as well as Hong Kong's position as an aviation hub.

If the world wants to find out whether cornerback Eric Wright is the exceptional player he says he is, they'll need to watch 49ers games this season.
The Buccaneers announced Friday afternoon that they have traded Wright to the 49ers in exchange for a conditional 2014 draft pick. The trade comes at the tail end of an offseason that started with speculation that the Bucs would cut Wright after his 2012 performance-enhancing drug suspension wiped out the remaining guaranteed money on his deal.
Wright wound up taking a one-year, $1.5 million deal to stick with Tampa. The 49ers will be responsible for paying that salary now. The trade's been met with some immediate disapproval from Wright's former teammate Donald Penn, who tweeted that he "can't believe this trade and I'm going to leave it at that."
With Wright gone, second-round pick Johnthan Banks is a good bet to start across from Darrelle Revis on the Bucs defense. The 49ers have a large group of corners competing for roles this season — Nnamdi Asomugha, Carlos Rogers, Tarell Brown, Chris Culliver and Perrish Cox are among the names — so Wright's arrival might presage other moves as the team starts tweaking its roster during training camp.

My succinct observations, otherwise known as �naggings,� regarding Paul�s common choices for breakfast � �You realize eating smoked gouda and bread is basically starting your day with a big helping of saturated fat, right?� and lunch � �Peanut butter again? You�ve got to eat more vegetables� � pretty much went unheeded.
I realize, being a beanpole, there�s nothing more annoying to people than to have someone who looks like me point out unhealthy habits, especially when I often imbibe in kind, but it truly was coming from a place of concern, and I was grateful that Paul decided to take advantage of a new wellness check in his insurance policy and went for a long-overdue medical tune-up.
When his own doctor, another beanpole, showed him the results of his cholesterol test, my man leapt into action. Or rather, jogged.
He ran his first half marathon recently.
When it finally occurs to him, Paul has a startling ability to zero in on a goal like a predator drone and remain remarkably self-disciplined.
This is a man who went from, in a course of three decades, studying aerospace engineering in Austin, Texas, dropping out to attend Comedy del Arte in California, where he learned mime and juggling (on a unicycle!), to transitioning into stand-up comedy, writing and producing late-night television and finally embracing his inner gardener and becoming an internationally known �rosarian� (knower of all things rose).
He�s just that kind of guy. He can�t simply enjoy wine � he has to learn everything about it: regions, vintages and history. He can�t just enjoy the pride of having the ability to cook a signature meal on the grill � he has to learn to make a rustic tomato tart from scratch that takes two days to prep.
And this winter�s homemade beer batch is cheerfully fermenting in his office.
So when Paul decided he had 30 pounds to shed, by gum, they would be shed in 10 weeks. Case closed. No more questions, your honor.
He began this undertaking by cruelly turning his back on his former great love, flour, and steadfastly creating one meal a day that was nothing but vegetables and protein � generally a salad that rivaled a pile of raked leaves in the front yard and topped with a can of tuna.
No more chips, thank you very much, during television viewing � raw almonds now arrived in bulk. Cookies and cakes were simply sneered at, but the two nightly martinis remained.
�Alcohol converts to sugar through the liver,� I observed. �You�re not going to be able to dip into fat stores with sugar in your bloodstream.�
�Watch me.�
And I did. Paul began his training with advice from athletic friends who biked and ran. He started by walking briskly up our long driveway and breaking into a jog once he hit the street and disappeared, in ancient T-shirts and gym shorts. He began to chart his progress, and there were days in the late summer when he would be careful, taking lots of water and walking great chunks of his route but still taking forever to cool out, owing to the humidity.
The pounds obligingly disappeared and by week three, his spare tire looked decidedly as if it had a leak.
Well into his second month, believing if one looks professional, one will act accordingly, Paul invested in garish neon running gear that would wick away his sweat and keep him safe from hunters, trained on his loping, carefree gait through the countryside, as well as new shoes and a special water bottle that hooked to his waist.
The massive salads and stir-fries continued, as did the weight loss. And come October, he ambitiously entered a local half marathon of 13.1 miles, to be run in November.
�You sure you�re ready?�
�I�m ready.�
The big day arrived. As my mother, three days earlier, had suffered a broken hip and was in the hospital, I sat with her and could not attend, but I followed every Facebook update and text with anticipation.
Paul had modestly remarked that he would be happy �just to finish the thing,� even if it meant walking over the line, but his last two weeks of distance work had been relatively comfortable, and he bounded over the line attired in his chartreuse jersey, handily beating his personal best time during training, and finishing 119th out of 183 runners.
His beanpole doctor finished fourth, and both received medals and gobs of free breakfast casseroles.
A couple of days ago, Paul mentioned an upcoming marathon in Asheville, N.C., which, he noted, was a qualifying race.
For the Boston Marathon.
What else from a man who makes his own puff pastry?

our family mission statement
Our Livingston Legacy
is to leave the world we live in
better than we found it:
more full of love, cleaner, happier, safer, lovelier, more organized, better educated, healthier, and more peaceful. We will do this by keeping our covenants with Christ individually and as a family and by helping others to come unto Him. We will report to God and each other, strengthen and encourage one another every day,
and do it all to glorify God.

"The ability to qualify for, receive, and act on personal revelation is the single most important skill that can be acquired in this life….Revelation can come hour by hour and moment by moment as we do the right things. When women nurture as Christ nurtured, a power and peace can descend to guide when help is needed. For instance, mothers can feel help from the Spirit even when tired, noisy children are clamoring for attention, but they can be distanced from the Spirit if they lose their temper with children….Because personal revelation is a constantly renewable source of strength, it is possible to feel bathed in help even during turbulent times."

Gladys Mary Smith was the daughter of actors. Soon after the death of her father she began taking child's roles in productions in which her mother was playing. She made her first stage appearance in a Toronto stock company at the age of five. At eight she went on tour, and within 10 years she was playing on Broadway. From 1906 the family adopted the name Pickford. She made her New York debut in David Belasco's The Warrens of Virginia in December 1907. At age 14 she had already learned more of stagecraft than many older actors, and her winsome face, framed by a mass of golden curls, made her appeal virtually irresistible.D.W. Griffith's Biograph Studio, starring in his 1909 film The Lonely Villa. By 1913 she had turned permanently to the screen, rising to first rank with Adolph Zukor's Famous Players Company. Her meteoric rise from an anonymous player to a star with her own production company (Mary Pickford Studios, created by Famous Players) was attributable not only to the phenomenal popularity of her films but also to her dedication to her craft and her meticulous care in creating quality entertainments. The ringleted ingenue with an expression of sweet sincerity and invincible innocence that she played in such silent films as Hearts Adrift (1914), Poor Little Rich Girl (1917), Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm (1917), and Johanna Enlists (1918) enthralled audiences everywhere. She was known at first as the "Biograph Girl with the Curls" and then as "Our Mary" when that much of her name was revealed; with the release of Tess of the Storm Country in 1914, she was firmly established as "America's Sweetheart." In 1917 First National Films paid her $350,000 for each of three films, including the very successful Daddy Long Legs (1919).United Artists Corporation with Griffith, Charlie Chaplin, and Douglas Fairbanks. In 1920, after the dissolution of her first marriage (1911–19) to actor Owen Moore, she married Fairbanks (divorced 1935). Pickford's popularity continued unabated in Pollyanna (1920), Little Lord Fauntleroy (1921), Little Annie Rooney (1925), My Best Girl (1927), Coquette (1929; her first talking picture, for which she won an Academy Award for best actress), The Taming of the Shrew (1929; her only film with Fairbanks), and Kiki (1931).
With Secrets (1933), her 194th film, Pickford retired from the screen. Thereafter she devoted herself to United Artists, of which she was first vice president from 1935 and for which she produced several films. She also wrote Why Not Try God (1934), The Demi-Widow (1935), and My Rendezvous with Life (1935), and in the 1930s she appeared on radio. In 1937 she married actor Charles ("Buddy") Rogers. Her later years were spent on business and civic and charitable activities, and she eventually became a recluse at Pickfair, the lavish estate she had built with Fairbanks. Sunshine and Shadow, her autobiography, was published in 1955.

"Naferia's Reign: Invasion of the Dark Mistress" is a 12-1/2 year long project for the BUILD-engine title "Duke Nukem 3D", though not all of those years had progress due to HDD failures destroying older versions. It is hard to put this mod into anything like a one-line summary, as it can't do the feature list here justice. :P One of the chief features of NR is the RPG-style mechanics mixed with traditional style FPS gaming, such as having improvable stats for Health/Armor/Attack/Defense/Speed, and being able to level up. Other elements include an extended inventory system to carry lots of items. Status buffs/ailments are present as well. But the most important feature of the RPG-style system is by far the multiple-character system. Unlike Hexen and it's ilk where you choose one character to use for the entire game, in NR you find new characters and increase the size of your group and can switch between them at will. (More can be seen in the Description >.>)

- "It just isn't fair. I'm never gonna get out of here!"
- ―Luke Skywalker
The Lars homestead was the home of the Lars family for at least three generations. It was a moisture farm located on the Great Chott salt flat in the Jundland Wastes on the planet Tatooine.
The farm was originally owned by Gredda and Lef Lars. They passed it on to their son, Cliegg Lars who then passed it on to Owen and Beru Lars. Owen and Beru raised Luke Skywalker, son of Anakin Skywalker, on the farm until age nineteen. The farm was burned and Owen and Beru killed by the Galactic Empire as they searched for the droids C-3PO and R2-D2, who had been traced to the farm.
A moisture farm, with sixty-three separate vaporators scattered on the property,[4] the Lars farm was located on the Great Chott salt flat,[5] on the outskirts of the Jundland Wastes, far removed from the closest city, Anchorhead. The homestead itself was mostly underground, to keep it cool, and always provided adequate room for the Lars family.[2]
The homestead's most prominent feature was the main living pit, a crater housing a courtyard from which occupants could access the various rooms, lofts and areas of the homestead. It was accessed via the main entry dome, set to the side of the living pit, and opposite the vehicle utility pit. The dome was made from pourstone, and hand-built by Cliegg Lars. It featured an external security access keypad and message center, and was commonly surrounded by various apparatus such as dew condenser jugs and area sensors.[6]
The crater walls were composed of hard packed soil, laced with magnetic ore, that served as insulation from the heat of Tatooine's twin suns, and from the chilly night-time temperatures. Funnel flowers grew around the rim of the crater. The center of the courtyard was given up to two GX-8 water vaporators, commonly serviced by a droid patch-in unit. The courtyard provided access to the family dining room and kitchen, a storage room and sleeping lofts. The crater rim was commonly surrounded by power distribution conduits and fusion generator supply tanks.[6]
A tech dome was situated behind the entrance dome. The tech dome featured a hinged roof, allowing access to an elevator leading into the garage below.[6] The garage had enough space to house the family vehicles, including Luke's X-34 landspeeder, the family V-35 Courier and Luke's T-16 skyhopper. A vehicle recharge port was located next to the outer dome.[6]
It was originally owned by Gredda and Lef Lars, who passed it on to their son, Cliegg Lars,[source?] who lived there with his son, Owen, and for the last years of her life, his wife Shmi.[1] After his father's death, Owen and his wife, Beru, inherited the farm.[7] Shmi Skywalker Lars was buried there in 22 BBY and later Cliegg himself.[1] Before the onset of the Clone Wars, two tombstones could be seen outside the homestead: one for Edern Lars, Cliegg's brother, and the other for Shmi. By the end of the Clone Wars, however, they were removed.[2]
In 0 BBY, Owen purchased two droids, C-3PO and R2-D2, from Jawa traders, He did not recognize, or chose not to acknowledge, C-3PO as the droid owned by Luke's father over two decades before, nor did he know R2-D2 held the secret plans for an Imperial superweapon and was being hunted by the Empire. When Imperial stormtroopers traced the sale of the droids to the Lars home and did not find them there, the farm was burned down with its occupants, Owen and Beru, still inside. The droids were safe in the care of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker.[2]
Sometime after the Battle of Yavin, Luke returned to the ruins of his childhood home and paid last respects to his slain aunt and uncle. Tombstones were re-erected in the wake of their execution.[8] Afterwards, he allowed the alien Throgg to take possession of the farm after he left Tatooine.[9] This angered Huff Darklighter, the father of Luke's childhood friend Biggs, who wanted the property for himself. He convinced the Anchorhead Municipal Council to pass an anti-alien landowner tax. Unable to pay it, Throgg sold the farm to Jula Darklighter, Huff's brother.[10]
In 8 ABY, Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo traveled to Tatooine to acquire the Alderaanian Moss painting Killik Twilight, which contained coded information about Rebel agents deep under cover within the Imperial Remnant. While tracking down the painting, Leia and Chewbacca were caught in a sandstorm and found their way to the old Lars homestead, still owned by Jula Darklighter. While waiting for the storm to pass, Jula's wife, Silya, gave Leia an old journal she had found buried in the sand near one of the moisture vaporators. The journal had been recorded by Leia's grandmother, Shmi, and gave Leia an understanding of her father's background which had shaped the man, and monster, he had become. After the storm passed, Jula and Silya helped locate Han, who had been lost in the desert during the storm.[3]
As of 137 ABY, it was long abandoned, and was used by Cade Skywalker as a refuge during a sandstorm common to Tatooine. While here he had visions of the Lars family and Luke Skywalker appeared to him. He also viewed a possible future of him becoming a Sith, with his loved ones dead at his feet. These visions helped Cade once again gain his bearings on the thin line he walked between the light side and the dark side of the Force; it remained abandoned after the sandstorm lifted and Cade and his company left.

The Lars homestead scenes from the entire saga were filmed in Tunisia, North Africa. The domed Lars homestead was left to decay after filming finished on the original Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, in 1976.
The crater remained unchanged over the years and helped pinpoint the exact site location for new dome construction on Attack of the Clones in 2000.[11] Movie magic deceives the viewer into thinking the dome, crater and inner courtyard are at the same location. The dome and crater rims reside at Nefta, while the courtyard is at the Hôtel Sidi Driss in Matmata, 249 kilometers away.
In 2012, the homestead site was saved and restored by Terry Cooper, Mark Cox, Robert L. Cunningham, Mark Dermul, Imanuel Dijk, and Michel Verpoorten, who raised $11,700 from fans around the world, via a Facebook group.[12]
The Tatooine Training mission in the 2003 video game Star Wars: Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike starts at the Lars homestead.
Non-canonical storylineEdit
During the Dark Times, Darth Maul, who had been outfitted with cybernetic legs after his bisection at the hands of Obi-Wan Kenobi, tracked the Jedi to the Lars homestead. Owen Lars tried to fight Maul but was disarmed. Kenobi, who had been hiding nearby, leapt out to engage the Sith Lord and defeated him. Kenobi held his lightsaber hilt at Maul's head, reluctant to kill him, but Lars shot the Sith with the remains of his rifle. Lars then ordered Kenobi to stay away from the infant Luke Skywalker.[13]

November 2013 – The crisp autumn air conjures up the delicious expectancy that characterized the months of November and December in my childhood. I recall my parents cooking the ritual Thanksgiving dishes, unchanged from year to year by family decree. These pleasures were followed by a flurry of activities – the Christmas tree, the food, school pageants, fruitcake-baking and, of course, shopping. The extravagant department store displays made shopping an occasion that far outweighed the significance of what we bought. Our family gifts were usually things we needed anyway, but the season made them feel indulgent.
Grown up and on our own in New York, my husband and I gravitated to Thanksgiving as our favorite holiday. Without the stress of gift-giving, it was the perfect time to slow down and invite friends to join us in a happy feast. It all seems very innocent now because, as portrayed in the popular media, Thanksgiving has been high-jacked. What ought to be a day to contentedly count our blessings is now touted as a gladiatorial spectacle, the kick-off to a season of shopping stoked by relentless product hype and capped by a casualty report. Quick, get the dinner out of the way so we can head to the mall! The season of excess is upon us.
The constant drumbeat in the business news is that the "success" of the holiday season is measured by retail sales. And unfortunately, turkey dinner with all the trimmings just doesn't pull its economic weight. The USDA estimates that the average Thanksgiving dinner for 10 people costs about $49.00. Total spending on Thanksgiving dinner is about $2.37 billion a year – chicken feed compared to the $584 billion Americans spent on Christmas in 2012.
With such high stakes, even the weather man exhorts us to "get out there and shop in this great weather!" It's become a cliché that the Christmas shopping ads start earlier every year, but the reason is worth noting: early shoppers spend about 14% more than the average, according to the research compiled by smartfamilyfinance.com, which also says about 68% of Americans spend all or part of their savings on Christmas presents, and that 17% of Americans will go into debt to pay for them.
George Carlin expressed it best: "Some people say the glass is half full. Some people say the glass is half empty. I say the glass is TOO BIG!"
Maybe we need to adjust our expectations, and to ask ourselves, what are we filling our glasses with? What thirst are we attempting to satisfy? Is it possible to replace quantity of "stuff" with quality of experience?
What if we measured the success of the holiday season by how fully stocked the food pantries are? By how many people volunteer in their communities? By how many fewer Americans are homeless, hungry, lonely, or uninsured?
Our local farmers' markets are extending their operations into the fall and winter, making it easy to find wonderful locally made gifts and high quality local ingredients for our holiday feasts. What if we measured the success of the season by how many farmers and artisans are thriving in our communities? By how well we are sustaining our locally-owned main street businesses?
Or by how well we listen, speak from the heart, and give our friends and family members the luxury of our time and undivided attention?
How much happier and more fulfilled would we be if we could channel our appetite for holiday excess into a superabundance of generosity and compassion throughout the year?

ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. — Chris Kirk was at his best when the wind was at its worst Friday in the McGladrey Classic.
Kirk rolled in a 40-foot birdie putt from off the green, chipped in from nearly 60 feet for birdie on another hole and wound up with another 4-under 66 at Sea Island to take a one-shot lead going into the weekend.
"Definitely shot my score on that back nine," said Kirk, who started the second round on the back. "I made a pretty easy bogey on No. 10 and it was just kind of like, "Yeah, this is going to be a pretty tough day." But I didn"t let it bug me."
He followed with five birdies to get into the lead, and stayed there with a pair of saves — one for bogey on No. 4, another from a plugged lie in the bunker on No. 8.
Kirk was at 8-under 132, one shot ahead of Kevin Chappell (68), Webb Simpson (68), John Senden (67) and Briny Baird (70).
Eighteen players had to return Saturday morning to finish the round, none closer than three shot of Kirk.
Even though he recently moved back to the Atlanta area, Kirk was one of the early PGA Tour pros to settle at Sea Island. This was one time where it paid off. The conditions were cold and blustery, with gusts up to 35 mph, and Kirk was ready for just about anything.
"I"ve played this course hundreds of times," he said. "I"ve seen every wind direction, every wind strength. I"ve seen it blow way harder than that before. You still know how well you"ve got to play to shoot a good score, but at least there"s no surprises."
He missed his 3-wood ever so slightly into the wind at the start of his round and had to hit hybrid for his second shot. It"s normally a 3-wood and a wedge.
"I guess that is a little bit of an advantage, just not being shocked by it all," he said.
Chappell had a few surprises, good and bad. He reached the par-5 15th hole in two and felt a gust helped blow his eagle putt into the hole. That was good. But on the par-3 third, aiming at a small tent well right of the green to cope with a strong right-to-left wind, he came up so short of the green that his ball disappeared into a hazard that Chappell didn"t even know existed. That led to a double bogey.
"You hit some not-so-perfect shots and get some bad breaks with the wind gusting and you get exposed really quickly," Chappell said. "I think I was fortunate to come to that realization that there"s some luck involved today and that maybe for a period of time I was one of the luckier guys out here. But that tough stretch in the middle of the round I wasn"t so lucky, and the law of averages, it averaged out."
The law of averages was reflected in the scoring.
George McNeill finished off the fog-delayed first round Friday morning with an 8-under 62, when the course was soft and benign. It only made sense to Kirk that the lead going into the weekend was 8 under.
Simpson, who lost in a playoff at Sea Island in 2011, had a flawless round spoiled with a bogey from the bunker on the 17th hole. Even so, he was poised to go after his second win since this wraparound season began a month ago. Simpson already has won in Las Vegas.
The group at 6-under 134 included Jason Kokrak, who had the low score of the second round at 65.
That included a birdie on the par-4 fifth hole, which wraps around a marsh. With the wind helping, the big-hitting Kokrak took a short cut toward the green and came up just short, setting up a chip-and-putt for birdie.
That was two shots worse than how he played the hole in a pro-am round. With a similar wind, he smashed his driver over the marsh, onto the green and into the hole for an albatross ace. Too bad it was only practice.
"I think it will play into my favor to play a little bit windy," Kokrak said. "Maybe not quite as gusty and windy as it is today for the putting aspect, but 15 to 20 mph wind would be fine with me. I think it"s an easier golf course for me to climb closer to the leaders with a little bit of wind as opposed to shooting 7-, 8-under par like the first round."
McNeill struggled in the wind, making five straight bogeys on his way to a 76. He was six shots behind.
Kirk moved to Sea Island in 2007, among the early settlers of PGA Tour players, and he still keeps a place here. It"s not a big problem being a local and having to deal with ticket requests. "I"m probably the seventh- or eighth-best player on the island," he said with a laugh.
But he has been the best over two days, thanks to mixture of solid shots and long birdies. Perhaps his best shot of the day came at the par-5 15th, when Kirk had a tree blocking his second shot to the green. He had to play a hook around the green, not easy considering the wind was hard from left-to right.
"I had to effectively hit a 30-, 35-yard hook just to get it around the tee and fight the wind," Kirk said. He would have taken the left bunker, but instead hit the shot into about 10 feet and two-putted for birdie.
DIVOTS: Tournament host Davis Love III, who shared the 54-hole lead a year ago at Sea Island, went 75-74 and missed the cut. … Will MacKenzie was 7 under in his first 13 holes and 11 over on his next 13 holes. He went 66-79 to miss the cut. … Matt Kuchar opened with rounds of 68-68 and was four shots behind.

As a small boy growing up in America, I can remember my aunts and uncles coming to our house in Jersey City, NJ, for a visit. They all emigrated from Ireland in the early 1920s. The men would sit in the front parlor drinking their beers and the women would all gather around the kitchen table for tea and soda bread. The children would play outside until it started to get dark. My cousins, my three older brothers and I would have a soda and sit on the parlor floor listening to our fathers discuss Ireland, world events, politics and sports. We could listen but dare not give our opinions, as children were to listen and learn but not to talk when the adults were talking. The only time you spoke was when you were asked a direct question from an adult.
My father and my uncles would always get around to telling ghost stories, to the great delight of the children. My favorite story was of my father being attacked by a white ghost.
My father, Martin Madden, lived in Creagh, Ballyhean, and was courting my mother, Sabina Prendergast, from Clogher, Ballyglass, for three years before their marriage. They had just returned from a night of dancing at one of the local homes. After my father brought my mother to her gatekeeper's house on the Clogher House property, he decided to take a shortcut home through the fields on that moonless night.
He approached the stone wall by the roadside and had put one leg over the wall when suddenly he was lifted into the air above the wall. For a few seconds he was carried by a white object. Then he was thrown in the air and landed on the ground. He turned around to see where the white ghost had gone. To his great surprise, there was a white donkey running off into the fields.
He realized what had happened: As my father started to climb the stone wall, the white donkey was sleeping on the other side. When my father's boot had hit the donkey, it woke up and got to its feet, only to find someone sitting on his back. After a few steps the donkey had thrown my father off his back.
If my father hadn't turned around to see the donkey, he probably would have sworn till his dying day that he was attacked by a white ghost on a moonless night in the fields of Clogher, County Mayo, Ireland.

Moving ahead: Visitors bureau names new head
Jeremy Miner to lead VCVB in the group's fresh start
Valdez man Jeremy Miner has been named as the new head of the Valdez Convention and Visitors Bureau (VCVB.)
For the last two years, the organization has been run with a skeleton crew at the direction of its volunteer board.
The VCBC board chose Miner, who is also a board member, last week. Miner, the current general manager of Mountain Sky Hotel, said he hopes his experience in the hospitality industry will help Valdez grow into a tourism destination.
"It's an honor to be given this opportunity," he said. "My initial intention was to hit the ground running. I've been involved with that organization for the last two years as a board member, seeing the struggles in the areas that need attention."
The organization not only runs the town's visitor center, which acts as a point of contact with business visitors and tourists, but also works year round to support tourism and promotes Valdez as a convention destination.
The VCVB has come a long way in the last two years. The organization got in hot water with the City of Valdez in 2010 after failing for five years to produce an audit. As part of a city statute, entities that receive city funding must produce an annual audit. The VCVB receives the bulk of its yearly funding through the city's bed tax. John Hozey, city manager, was forced to cut off funding to the organization until it produced a clean audit.
As a result, the VCVB let go of its previous executive director, Dave Peterson, in October 2011, when it became abundantly clear the organization's books were in disarray and in no condition to produce an audit. Other layoffs followed because the organization needed funding to pay its overdue debts, fines and other expenses. In December 2011, the City Council forward funded $153,000 from the VCVB's 2012 budget to cover those costs through the end of the year.
Cash-strapped for 2012, the VCVB Board and volunteers worked to fill the void of executive director. Miner said the audits are no longer an issue thanks to work of the board and he credits the other members' hard work with getting the organization back on track.
"We ran things very successfully as a board last year," Miner said. "I want to make sure we continue our mission - be very mission driven in marketing Valdez as a four-season destination. So really, just getting into the nitty-gritty and making sure we get the operations standpoint down first and then really starting to developing some of my ideas which will help tourists when they get to town, what to do, in addition to attract more tourist to Valdez."
Miner, who also serves on the Valdez City Council, plans to transition from his position at Mountain Sky into his new job within the next month.

WEYBRIDGE — In a place like Vermont, history is all around us — even hidden in the ground. Archaeologists are currently digging into the pre-Columbian history at a site along the banks of the Otter Creek behind the Huntington Falls hydroelectric facility in Weybridge.
"It's a Native American encampment, probably dating back to the Middle Woodland period, about 1,600 years ago," explained David Beale, a staff archaeologist of the Northeast Archaeology Research Center (NEARC) in Farmington, Maine.

ADDISON COUNTY — Many people like to visit Vermont for the beautiful scenery and the local attractions. Big attractions like Lake Champlain or the Vermont Teddy Bear Factory sometimes overshadow some of the smaller places to visit.
One example of these hidden gems is the state fish hatcheries, which are a good place to learn about fish — which species can be caught in Vermont waters and how they get there.
MIDDLEBURY — Spirits were high on Saturday morning as the Middlebury Union High School class of 2013 gathered together at the Memorial Sports Center to graduate. The commencement ceremony, which featured a mix of tradition and originality, started with droning bagpipes, played by senior Duncan Mathewson, leading the teachers to their seats. Afterward the graduating class was called in by Edward Elgar's "Pomp and Circumstance," played by the MUHS band.

Un-checked: Sharika Allison
Sharika Allison became an employee with the Beaumont school district in 2008 on the exact same day as her boss, Devin McCraney, and currently holds the title of BISD comptroller. What experience she has to hold such a position is unclear, but a Legislative Budget Board review of the finance office maintains that Allison was given clearance to sensitive areas such as the cash holding vault and check printing equipment, although she did not need such clearance.
According to the LBB report, Allison is in charge of fixed assets, student activities funds, and cash management. Allison is also in charge of creating ledger codes for disbursement and keeping track of bond sales. The report says that the ledger accounts under the control of Allison and the fund spreadsheets are not in sync, and funds diverted through her office could not be reconciled even after multiple attempts to balance the numbers were made. LBB investigators noted that due to the lack of controls on reconciliation of accounts, the district "cannot be certain that its cash is safeguarded or that its accounting records are accurate."
Furthermore, according to the LBB review team, Allison's cash management and student activity fund monitoring skills were leaving the district open to potential downfall.
"Control weaknesses in this area," the report concludes, "create a risk that campus and student activity funds might be misappropriated or stolen before the deposit reaches the bank account."
Allison is bringing home in excess of $62,000 a year from her employment with BISD, but she is also connected to the district as the treasurer of BAABSE, the Beaumont Area Alliance of Black School Educators.

The Browns landed Manziel with the 22nd pick, but had to beat out three teams vying for the spot. Should the Vikings have pushed harder to move up for Johnny Football instead of angling to get Teddy Bridgewater ten picks later?
As we look at the NFL draft with some perspective now, the one pick that fascinates me is number 22. And not just because Johnny Manziel got taken there, but because there was such heated competition for the pick.
An impeccable NFL source told me this on Monday night:
- The Eagles, who held the 22nd pick in the draft, informed teams after several players they loved at 22 were snatched—LSU wideout Odell Beckham, who went 12th to the Giants, and Virginia Tech cornerback Kyle Fuller, who went 14th to Chicago, among others—that they were auctioning the choice.
- Six teams inquired about pick number 22. Philadelphia got four solid offers.
- Though it was reported by Jay Glazer that the Vikings and Browns jousted for the 22nd pick (absolutely true), they were not alone. The source said that another team, not Minnesota, was the leader in the clubhouse when Eagles GM Howie Roseman told Cleveland GM Ray Farmer with three minutes left in the 10-minute draft period that he had to make a better offer than the one Cleveland had on the table.
- Minnesota and Cleveland wanted Johnny Manziel. But it's clear that the second-place finisher, which already had a good quarterback, wanted another player at 22. I wish I knew that other team. I do not. I don't believe it is Houston.
- Cleveland, as I reported Monday in my column, did sweeten its offer to move up from 26 to 22, by improving its last offer to the 26th pick and 83rd overall. (I don't know what Cleveland's offer was before this, but GM Ray Farmer had less than 30 seconds to improve it to Philadelphia's satisfaction, and he did.)
- If Farmer didn't include the mid-third-round pick in the deal, Philadelphia absolutely would have made the deal with Team Unknown for the 22nd pick. Cleveland would have had to move on. In that case, Cleveland would have called Kansas City at 23 and Cincinnati at 24 to try to get a deal done. I am told Kansas City would have been receptive to an offer for the 23rd pick, but Cincinnati, in love with cornerback Darqueze Dennard, would have held onto the pick.
- The finish line: Cleveland won. The anonymous team seeking a player other than Manziel finished second. Minnesota was third—obviously because the Vikings didn't want to include the 2015 first-round pick. (I don't blame them.) The Eagles would have likely made that trade knowing the three or four players they liked at 22 would have been gone at 40. And another anonymous team finished fourth.
So, many of you have asked in the wake of Manziel to Cleveland at 22 and Teddy Bridgewater at 32 whether the Vikings messed this up, whether Bridgewater is just a consolation prize.
All I can tell you is this: I was in Minnesota last month. I spoke to GM Rick Spielman, whom I have known for a long time, and he was dubious about every quarterback in the draft. I spoke to another member of the organization, an influential one, who was similarly skeptical about the quarterbacks in the draft. They didn't have a fervent belief in any one of them. They did like Manziel. They didn't want to sell the farm for him.
When the Vikings spent private time with Manziel before the draft at dinner, coach Mike Zimmer was pointed and blunt (which is exactly what Zimmer is) with Manziel. At one point, Zimmer said to Manziel, "I've been waiting all my life for this chance. Can I trust you?'' Manziel said yes. Manziel told Zimmer they would win Super Bowls together. Zimmer loved it. Zimmer wasn't sure whether he trusted him totally, but he loved it, and he loved the confidence.
So the Vikings wanted Manziel. That is true. But did they want him enough to give the 40th pick in this draft and next year's first-round pick as well? No. Can't say that I blame them either.
Now on to your emails following a very interesting draft.
Peter: Why do you think the Houston Texans, with a much higher third round pick than Cleveland, didn't try to trade up and get Johnny Manziel at No. 22? In addition to what he'd bring as a QB for a team without a difference-maker at that position, his impact on the fan base would have been much more mind-boggling than what's happened in Cleveland. Plus, he'd have enabled the Texans to cut into Dallas' overwhelming fan domination in Texas.
— B. West,
Port Arthur, Texas
There's no question in my mind that Houston wasn't sold on Manziel. The Texans obviously had an opportunity with the 33rd overall pick to move up into the 20's to chase Manziel, and chose not to do it. All I can say is—because I have not talked to Bill O'Brien about this—that the Texans had to have a lesser grade on him than others. And after watching O'Brien have the kind of season he had in 2012 using Matt McGloin at Penn State, I think he certainly deserves the benefit of the doubt as a developer of quarterbacks to let this play out and see if a very good value pick—Tom Savage atop the fourth round—can be developed into a more accurate pro quarterback than he was in college.
How do the players' jerseys get made so quickly at the draft? It seems like seconds from the time a player's name is called, he walks out of the green room and commissioner Roger Goodell greets him and hands him a jersey from the team that just drafted him with the name across the back?

The NFL has jerseys for every team with the number 1 already affixed, leaving only the proper nameplate to be added when a player is chosen. I think we saw either on NFL Network or ESPN over the weekend the way it gets done. There is a machine that can, within a couple of minutes, make the nameplate to be put on the back of the jersey. From the time the NFL is first notified of a selection to the time the player walks on stage in the first round, there is about two and a half to three minutes to get the job done. In some cases, the league may have already gotten wind of who the pick is before the selection period is over, but in some cases the league is working on a tight deadline and just barely makes it. But it's a pretty cool thing, isn't it?
In this week's MMQB you wrote, "Good for the Dolphins for fining and suspending defensive back Don Jones for being an idiot on Twitter after Michael Sam got drafted." Regardless of how one feels about Sam's being drafted or Jones' tweets, I find it very disturbing that you, of all people, would support fines and suspensions from work for those who publicly express an unpopular opinion. You're a journalist; is that the standard you want to have applied to your own writing? If you voice an opinion that goes against the popular consensus, should you be fined and suspended from your job for it? Should you be fired, sanctioned, or blacklisted for being on the wrong side of the cultural zeitgeist? Is that really the kind of society you, as a journalist, want to live and work in? Because that's what your comment would naturally lead me to believe.

My column is not all facts and figures. My column is also opinions, as you can tell, if you've read my column at any point over the last 17 years. My opinion is that I'm glad the Dolphins came down hard on a player for making what I consider to be an intolerant tweet. End of story. It's Jones' right to express a demeaning opinion on Twitter. It's my right to disagree with him and to praise a team for disciplining him. Particularly after what the Dolphins have been through as an organization and the continued intolerance of several players for over a year, a player on Miami's roster has to be a fool to think the team won't come out swinging if you come out publicly blasting someone who is gay.
Peter, I don't understand your point re: Ryan Mallet. Of course we don't know anything about this kid, because when would he have a chance to play? Printing his stats is meaningless—of course his QB rating is 5. When did he play? Name a time when he should have played? What were Aaron Rodgers' stats his first three years under Brett Favre? Did he play? Did he start?
— Brandon,
Here's my point about Ryan Mallett, and it's a simple point: Anyone who thinks Ryan Mallett should be the answer at quarterback for Houston (or any team) is sadly mistaken. He's been in the NFL for three years and done absolutely nothing other than hold a clipboard. My response about Mallett was not to criticize him as a player; it is to say that no sane person would trade for him and believe he'll automatically solve your team's quarterback problem. I realize he was a tempting prospect in 2011 out of Arkansas. He may well be a very good NFL quarterback. But I certainly wouldn't pay much for him, and if I brought him to camp all I would do is hope that he could compete for a roster spot and push the starter.
Thank you for the well-written piece on the drafting of Michael Sam by the St. Louis Rams. While the drafting of Sam has seen support from many perspectives, one seems to be missing: the bridge that Sam has created for gay sons and their sports-loving fathers.
Like many young sons, some of the easiest and earliest connections I made with my father were through sports, either by participation or by rooting for our (his) favorite teams. Sports were always ready as a convenient topic for conversation and could be used as a shortcut to other worldly issues. This connection can change when a father learns his son is gay. Sports, the NFL in particular, became a refuge, giving my dad comfort that whatever gay "stuff" might be swirling around in the rest of the world (including his son), it wasn't a part of football.
Then, to quote George Costanza, Michael Sam was drafted and "worlds collided". In one draft pick, the walls that my father used to partition gay people from the NFL experience were torn down. It was never really enough to say there were always gay players in the NFL, we just didn't know it. With the visible drafting of Sam, now there was proof, and now the NFL belonged to everyone, including gay football players, gay fans and gay sons.
It is not a comfortable change for many, and some people with blinders on will refuse to see it, turning away, hoping Sam gets cut and is out of their NFL as soon as possible. For the larger majority, including my father, they will slowly ease their grip on the game of football and acknowledge that it is now shared with a larger audience. That all gay sons across America now root for the St. Louis Rams is just a coincidence.
— Guy,

You're saying there will be a new bridge and a positive bridge between some fathers and sons when the fathers find out their sons are gay. As a society, I think that's one of the things that we should hope for as a result of Michael Sam being drafted and trying to make it in the NFL as an openly gay man. I don't know if you saw this last month, but Troy Vincent, one of the top NFL executives, said that he played with six closeted gay players during his NFL career. By closeted, I mean they refused to come out to publicly through the media, but it was well known within the walls of their locker rooms that they were gay. And those teams, from all appearances, handled it mostly appropriately. The NFL belongs to everyone, and Michael Sam is already changing how people view the league.
My suggestion is to award the draft to the loser of the Super Bowl. This would give both cities a takeaway from the game and spread the draft's glamour throughout the league. Just a thought.
Well, I'm not sure that the most profitable way for the league to move the draft around is to award it by any regular means. I think it would be better for interested cities to bid on it and for the league to use it as a way to spread it around to as many different franchises as possible. I believe, for instance, that having the NFL draft in Jerry Jones' stadium in Texas would be an absolute hoot. Jones would roll out all kinds of red carpeting to make it a Texas-sized event. It would be great. The draft would be just as good in Chicago, in Seattle, in Denver, in Washington—everywhere. I hope it's not long before the league parcels it out to cities that would put on great shows with the draft in town. But I would also be in favor of the New York area not getting the draft with any regularity, seeing that it has been in New York forever.

So, is the trick to the "air drying", low pressure, angle, or what?
I guess that is an important point. First, yellow cars do look good with black vinyl. Second, vinyl is a 60s and 70s look.

Adam Lambert Close to Settling 'American Idol' Lawsuit
Adam Lambert is close to settling the lawsuit that claims the 'Better Than I Know Myself' singer was signed to a label when he appeared on 'American Idol' in 2009.
Lambert was sued by Colwel Platinum Entertainment in November for appearing on the hit competition series after he allegedly teamed up with the entertainment company to market his album 'Beg for Mercy,' which was recorded between April 2007 and September 2008.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, lawyers for both Lambert and Colwel Platinum Entertainment recently submitted an extension request for certain papers. According to the stipulation, "The parties' transactional counsel have negotiated and agreed upon the material terms of a settlement … Reflected in a series of emails between said counsel."
The case judge was informed that an executed agreement would be completed by Friday, and THR confirmed that a settlement is being finalized. No details about the terms have been released.
Neither Lambert nor his reps have commented on the settlement, but when word of the lawsuit got out in November, the singer tweeted: "Remember than in any dispute, reserve judgement until all the facts surface from ALL parties. Guilt and innocence come with a complete story."

For Steve Presser, owner of Big Fun Toy Store in Cleveland, the budget negotiations in Washington, D.C., are much more than an abstraction. "I follow it and of course I care about it. The big question for me and most of my peers and colleagues is how it will affect us," Mr. Presser tells the public radio program Marketplace. "You know, health care, all the big buzzwords affect the small business owners just like it affects the big one." He says small storefront business owners like him, who rely heavily on cash flow, are even more vulnerable in this economy than larger companies, according to the story. That makes budgeting for Big Fun a challenging process, even though he doesn't confront the same political obstacles as members of Congress. "We all have to try to get as creative as we can about budget making," Mr. Presser says. "My small business is like the government's large business: we have to do cuts, we have to decide what's important." He's skeptical Congress is listening. "Do I believe that they're really listening to the small person on Main Street? I think they're not listening enough," Mr. Presser tells Marketplace. Even without much help from Washington, though, business is better at his two stores. "I'm starting to see people spend a little bit more money in my store," Mr. Presser says. "I'm now smiling. I'm a little bit more optimistic than I was two years ago."
Editor's Choice
Big Fun's owner isn't laughing about D.C.'s budget impasse
There are a lot of valuable lessons for small business owners in this first-person Fortune story by David Kelly, 62, a Northeast Ohio native who runs a Palo Alto, Calif., design and innovation consulting firm called Ideo. The company — it's pronounced EYE-dee-oh — has designed products for some real giants, including Apple (IDEO built Apple's first mouse, in 1980), Samsung and Eli Lilly. Mr. Kelly grew up in Barberton. His father was an engineer at Goodyear and his mother was a housewife. "It was a typical Midwest upbringing, and I wasn't really into college preparatory stuff," he writes. "What was exciting to me was taking apart the car or the washing machine." He earned a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from Carnegie Mellon University, went to work for Boeing in Seattle, moved to Dayton to work for National Cash Register, and then went to the Stanford Product Design Program. He had some successes and failures in startups after Stanford, but Ideo, formed in the early 1990s, proved to have staying power. From the story, here's Mr. Kelly's advice for small business owners: Do stuff rather than plan. Experiment, let it fail, and do it three or four times. You can see our human-centered design kit online, so everyone can adopt it and make an impact in their worlds. Play, and look at things with a child's mind. Adults do things out of habit. If one of our teams gets a project about nostalgia, the team might get an Airstream trailer and live in it outside the company while working on the project to inspire people. Find your fit in life. So many people have jobs that look good but feel bad. They did it because of their parents or because it looks good to society. People who are happiest in life fit day to day. Don't stop until you find that.
Ohio's rural and less-populated areas are emerging as hotbeds of new ideas and innovations from creative entrepreneurs, according to this story from HiVelocityMedia.com. "You don't have to be entrenched in one of Ohio's major urban centers to flourish in the high-tech realms of digital media, biotech, sustainable energy and more, maintain the heads of these fast-growing companies," according to the website. "The local incubators, venture capitalists and nonprofits supporting these companies are of a similar positive mindset." Youngstown and Athens, in particular, are setting the pace within the state. "We tell companies they can be a big fish in a small pond," says Jennifer Simon, director of The Ohio University Innovation Center, which supports 31 startup clients spread throughout nearly 36,500 square feet. The story profiles several companies thriving in smaller Ohio markets, including Equipment Appraisal Services in Youngstown. The company, based in the Youngstown Business Incubator, conducts accredited, onsite machinery and equipment appraisals for bank financing collateral, asset allocation and estate settlements. The company's reports are consistent with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice set forth by Congress. HiVelocityMedia.com says Equipment Appraisal Services is an offshoot of a business brokerage company owner Kipp Krukowski grew and then sold. "I saw this as a side business at first, but it took off," he says. Mr. Krukowski's admittedly "unsexy" venture has been so lucrative that he's readying the launch of a free-to-use equipment auction website that is "a combination of Craigslist and eBay," he notes. "There's no fee for the buyer or seller."

parlak Posts: 1Can anyone tell me how 18 in rims with 275/35-18 tires will fit and preform on the vehicle. I am concerned about rubbing in the front. The specifications say it will work providing I have the right offset on the rims. It calls for about a 45 to 50 offset. Would you have any coment to this and what experience have you may you have had with idea. Can you recommend any particular tire or rim, as I am looking for more handling than longevity. It sits in the garage most of the time. I have it completly modified, and running around 500 horsepower. Very stout machine. Can you comment on the Vredestein sessanta's and the drag dr31 rims. Apprecite your imput anyone.
Thanks Steve0
My 1992 twin turbo dodge stealth starts up fine after setting over night, and starts up fine just after shuting off engine, but most of the time after setting for an hour or so it seems to sound like it floods itself out. After letting it run for a bit it will clear itself up. I have put new injector, plug wires, plugs, and numerous sensors one the car.Fuel pump has been checked and is fine. And also i have put a new computor on the car.0
My son is in Iraq and just before he left he asked me to try to get his '91 RT converted to a turbo motor. It is a custom Stealth with a RT motor. The motor blew back in October just before he deployed. With extra cash he gets from being in a war zone he has asked if I would try to get his Stealth not only repaired, but he'd love to have it modified to be extremely quick and fast. Anyone have any suggestions on the best way to accomplish this. He returns mid February and I'd love nothing more than to be there waiting with his Stealth read to roll. He has limited cash naturally, so that may completely make this a moot point?0
You know, this doesn't sound like the best way to spend his money. This is a rather large heavy car to begin with, and I don't think it's ever going to be that "fast" compared to starting with something more modern and durable.
Just my two cents.
Visiting Host0
I agree i don't think it is a very good way to spend a yourng man's
money just getting out of the service. But the car is fast and beautiful. How fast can you go now days on our busy highways anyway! And i have spent alot of money in just replacing new parts, some of which it didn't need and were easy
to get to the engine. But i think at this day and age it would be best for
someone with a limited amount of money to buy new with a warrenty.
But if he still does want to convert his old with a blown engine to twin turbo.
For get it. Lots of money. My car is the way to go.I have already spent the money.
I have been a little obsessed with my car also, but it is time to let it go too someoneelse.0
I hear you, but at the same time, the car is a complete custom set up. Shaved with no protrussions on the body at all. Over $2,500 invested in the interior to make it like a sound room. Beefed up brakes and a competition clutch etc. The only thing that had not been done was the motor. The original owner didn't care that much about the speed end of things, he was more into the esthetics. Anyway, my son now wants to "finish the job." Since the RT motor died he wanted to do it now. I've found TT motors (jdm) rebuilt with between 30,000 and 60,000 miles. I think the hard part is knowing how much additional cost I'm (he) is going to find as he makes the switch. Thanks... any additional comments are definitely welcome.0
Here's a guy who has apparently done it, and you can see from his lists and reports that this is a formidable task:
You're looking at a lot of money unless you know how to do these mods yourself---even then you have a lot of conversions and special fitting to do.
Seems to me he could just go buy a nice Stealth TT for $10,000 bucks and probably end up with a better car for less money.0
You are absolutely right, i have spent a tremendous amount of money on my car.
But i am the only owner, and it is a great car. But before i sell it or try to sell it i
want it right for the next person. I still have a little problem and is giving me a fit trying to figure it out. I have asked for help on this forum but no answer, but have looked back at some of the other same problems that i am having and have done everything they have said it could posibble be. Just my luck none of the above. But when i do fine the problem you can be sure that i will tell it on the forum.0
SpeedBuggy Posts: 1Just found this thread. Sounds like your ISC (Idle Speed control motor) is bad. It's located on the rear side of the throttle body, on top of the engine, towards the back. Half of it sticks inside the throttle body. Depending on the year, it's either a tan plastic plug, or a black plastic plug, connecting to the harness.
Not difficult to change, and this thing is responsible for most non-necessary ECU replacements.
Hope this is your problem and I'm not too late getting to you.0
Thank you for answering my problem on my dodge 1992 stealth. I have put a new
ISC. ALso i have put the 2- 0/2 sensers on / fuel regulator/ starting heat senser/
Mass air flow senser/ all new injectors/ fuel filter/ I have checked for fuel pump preasure. I am taking it back in to a new shop today maybe for the last time. And if we do figure this thing out i will let everyone no.
If you have anymore idea's, i will surely try them.
Thanks for you help, it is most appreciated0
romano28 Posts: 1is there anything reported on the '92 stealth about it not wanting to start and drains batteries but is not the alternator? there are no drains on the battery either. i just got it back from the shop and they replaced the nuetral safety switch and it ran for about 5 days then stopped running again. i am in the army and this car is my only mode of trans so i need it to run.0
Glad to see that some one else has a dodge stealth. BUT.. Sorry that is not the problem i am having . And we are still trying to figure out this problem. I put it back into another shop. Hopefully they can figure it out. I would thing that your problem would be an easy one to figure out. But than you would think mine would be also. I don't know if you have read all the forum's on the 3000 gt but there are people with the same problem that you are having. Just go over to your right of the page and enter 300ogt in the KEY WORD I wil let you know if i ever get this problem fixed and i hope you do the same. And by the way..... Thanks for serving our country and keeping us safe!!!!!!0
Helo I am the one with the long time problem with my car not wanting to start after setting 45 minutes. We have most likely narrowed it down to VAPOR LOCK. Because after many of road test, we drove the car the same amount of time four times. And we discoverd that after leaving the hood down and trying to start it, it would not start. But doing the same thing three more times, but this time we raised the hoop up. AND THE CAR STARTED. I have ordered another part, but they say that this part is working, but will try a new one anyway. any body have any ideas. Other than wrapping the fuel lines?0
ron91twint Posts: 1Hi, I came across this message board while searching for some ideas on what to do with my 1991 Dodge Stealth R/T Twin Turbo. My cousin bought (ordered) it brand new off the line and paid a premium for black with red leather interior. He drove it for 28,000 miles and then I bought it from him. It has 42,000 original mile today and is in mint condition because it has been garaged right from the start. I'm thinking of selling it, and I wonder if anyone has any ideas of where I should list it. It's really one of a kind due to it's age, low mileage, and perfect condition. What would you do with it? Thanks, Ron0
Hi Ron
Well it all depends on how much you like your car and how much you want to spent on repairs. Because with the millege it has on it now is when the problems start, believe it or not. I myself must be nuts too have spent what i have these two years ,and still have not found the problem. I now bought myself a repair book and started to study. And also have been spending alot of time on the internet. Believe it or not there's alot of information out there. I have been now buying one part at a time hoping to fix the problem. None of the garages i have been to could help. Tomorrow i am putting on the crank angle senser. After that i don't no what i will do.
Maybe give up. Here is the part number. if you google it the part it will come up and will led you to more information."MD153464" As as for the car and what to do. if you love it and have the time and money for repairs keep it. If not sell it to someone who won't mind the repair cost and down time. Hope this helps. KEEP THE FAITH0
jerky244 Posts: 1Hi my name is Gaib. I own a 1996 twin turbo stealth and i'm lookin to replace my suspension. I need to know if the 96's came with the electronic controlled suspension. Also does anyone have any suggestions for a good brake kit? Is there anywhre i can buy new stock interior parts, like whole seats? And one more thing, i was looking at a couple other sites on stealth TT production numbers and they said that their were only 57 96' twin turbo stealths produce is there any validity to that or not?0
Sorry can't help. I couldn't find seats for my 1992, but it will cost me 1,100.00
to recover the front seats only. What i finally had to do was to buy the auto repair books. "Mybooks.com" they were about $96.00
Also just my googling in the part number a whole bunch of other information sometimes comes up. I was really supprised.sorry i can't help0
dkeimair Posts: 3I have a 1992 Stealth Twin Turbo that is about as pristine as you can get with the 100,00 miles it just turned over. However it has recently developed an annoying problem. When it gets warmed up after running 15-20 minutes the throttle seems to stick at 2200 RPM in gear or when you stick in the clutch. The only thing that stops it is when the wheels are about to cone to a stop, then it goes back to normal idle. Any suggestions would be appreciated.0
Hello: I am having the same problem right now believe it or not.I think i have pinpointed it to my anti brake. Part alone is $300.00. I have a short in my passenger side front brake senser. I have noticed when the light come on i have the problem and when the light goes off it's is fine. But i have been preoccupied with an on going problem. And i am hoping by the end of the month i will have it fixed. Then I'll be famous! Ha, Ha
If you are having a problem with your anti brake it might be as simple as taking the senser out and wiping it off. It is behind the brake disc. Or it could be your throttle position senser. $120.00. you can put it on yourself. I went on line and ordered the repair manual from" Books.com" for about $95.00. If nothing else you gain a tremendous amount of knowledge. Also i have found a site ( Jeff Lucius)
This site is unreal! Also I have been able to get most of my parts still from the The
Mitsubishi dealers. Also google part number MD614405 it might show you the sensor. Let me no what you come up with about your problem. Here is my e-mail address [email protected] Maybe we can both pick each others brain0
Hello again
About your problem with the throttle seeming to sick. As i told you in the last e-mail, mine has been doing the same thing. I replaced my driver side abs senser because they told me it was bad. Now this was about 4 years ago when i paid them 100.00 to tell me the problem. I didn't have time to mess with the car because of work. So now that i have the time to work on the car this is what i am doing. I bought the senser, tested it before i put it on the car, it tested good. I remover the old one today, tested it and it tested good also. GREAT!!!!!!!!! There goes another $100.00 for wrong information. BUT! I did buy the relay fuse the same time. I read about this in the book that i bought. But in the mean time i put the new sensor on and it didn't fix the problem. So i said well I'll put this $30.00 relay in. And so far the abs light doesn't come and the idol problem went away. I took it on a long test drive and so far so good. KNOCK ON WOOD. I'll believe it, if it stays fixed for a week. So this is what you do. Replace the relay fuse. it is under the hood. as you face the engine it is on your left, in the front in that big fuse box. Looking at the fuse box it will be the roll of fuses on your right, second one up. Also it is in your owners manuel. Here is the part number 8627A011 it looks different than the old one but it is the same. Let me know if it works for you0
