Interesting article on a recent Sutphen failure, in Arizona
http://www.wbtv.com/story/19297373/n...type=printableGREEN VALLEY, AZ (Tucson News Now) -
The Green Valley Fire District says the weight limit was not exceeded when five people were injured in yesterday's ladder accident in Green Valley.
The maximum weight allowed when water is not running is 1,000 pounds.
Five people were sent to the hospital after the accident in which they were hurt while riding in the bucket at the end of the ladder. Two of those people have been released from the hospital.
The remaining three, all civilians, are still at University Medical Center for ongoing treatment of their injuries. No one involved in the incident sustained life-threatening injuries.
Authorities say the ladder experienced a mechanical failure in the last section of the ladder, also called the fly section. A steel cable gave way in the fly section causing the ladder to retract to its original position; this return caused the people inside the bucket to be thrown rather violently against the ladder.
The manufacturer of the truck, Sutphen is scheduled to arrive in Green Valley sometime this afternoon, to help in the investigation. The truck was purchased in 2009 and first entered service in 2010.
The investigation by the Arizona Department of Public Safety is continuing today, at the request of the GVFD, who is cooperating fully with the investigators.
There was no interruption of service to Green Valley or Sahuarita during the incident.
"This is a difficult time for Green Valley Fire family," said Fire Chief Simon Davis, "An event like this is unprecedented for our department."
"There will be much for us to do in the days and weeks ahead," continued Davis, "but most important is the recovery of the three individuals still receiving care for their injuries."
"The Fire District Board is fully involved with the review of this incident," added Board Chairman Dave Appleton, "We are also fully supportive of Chief Davis and his staff in the outstanding work they are doing to resolve all of the issues and the following investigations into the failure of the apparatus."

Why would you have five in the bucket?? It might not have been overweight, but I bet it was close. I've not heard of that kind of failure on a Sutphen.

A cable failure can happen on any make or model aerial, when was the last time the apparatus was serviced or had a annual aerial inspection performed ?

Dual Cables
Our aerials have dual extension cables on each section. It sounds like the Sutpen only has one extension cable on the fly section.

Update.... Probe focuses on snapped cable in firetruck ladder accident
Investigators are focusing on a steel cable that snapped Wednesday in Green Valley, sending the top section of a 100-foot firetruck ladder sliding 40 feet in an accident that sent five people to the hospital.
Victims recall terror
The accident knocked one man partly out the bucket, and for a moment the safety harness he was wearing was all that kept him from falling about 40 feet to the ground.
The cable controls the top section of a 100-foot ladder used during a public relations event Wednesday at Green Valley Fire District Station 151, 250 N. La Cañada Drive.
"The cable broke, but what caused the cable to break? Cables don't just break. That's what the investigation is about," said Ken Creese of Sutphen Corp., the company that manufactured the ladder truck.
Four civilians and a firefighter were in the bucket at the end of the 100-foot ladder; two remained hospitalized as of Saturday.
Creese said that in 35 years in the industry he has only heard of a handful of cases of aerial ladders retracting unexpectedly and causing injury or damage.
"I've never seen anything like this," he said Friday.
Creese, director of sales and marketing for Sutphen Corp., of Amlin, Ohio, arrived in Green Valley with two other Sutphen employees Thursday morning. The team took hundreds of photographs of the ladder truck before returning Friday to Ohio, where engineers are examining them.
The ladder has three sections, with the bottom fixed to the truck and the next two sliding out using hydraulic and mechanical systems that include the cable.
The 100-foot ladder was nearly fully extended at a 45-degree angle and was in the process of being extended when the cable snapped, a GVFD spokesman said. A spokesman for the fire district likened the accident to an elevator failing and sliding rapidly down a shaft.
The cable broke, sending the top section sliding rapidly along the incline, slamming into the second section and stopping abruptly with such force that the bucket's gate popped open.
The momentum threw civilian Tom Brown's upper body outside the bucket and though Brown's feet remained in the bucket, only a safety harness kept him from falling out, GVFD spokesman Capt. Tom Louis said.
"His legs were still in the bucket, but his upper body was outside the bucket and he was held in place by the ladder belt, the safety harness. The other four remained inside the bucket," Louis said.
Fire Capt. Jeff Mooney quickly pulled Brown back inside and despite his own injuries, began assessing the others.
"Capt. Mooney began assessing the patients. Though he was injured, he had the presence of mind to do his job," Louis said. "Then, when two firefighters got up, he was able to stabilize the patients, keep them from moving, take their vital signs."
All five in the bucket were wearing safety equipment that prevented the possibility of anyone being thrown to the ground, according to GVFD. The bucket has a leveling device that keeps it from swaying excessively and the bucket is not considered a likely cause of the ladder failure.
Once the ladder slid back, firefighters decided to leave the ladder and bucket in place rather than try to move the ladder. That left the top of the bucket about 42 feet above the ground. Two firefighters scrambled up the ladder to help stabilize the civilians and a call went out for help at 5:56 p.m. Although three ambulances and a helicopter arrived, the five injured people could not immediately be taken out of the bucket.
Another ladder truck equipped with a bucket was dispatched from the Pascua Pueblo Fire Department at 6 p.m. and arrived at 6:30 p.m. The patients slowly were transferred to that bucket before they were lowered to the ground. The first ambulance left with a passenger at 6:54 p.m. The third and last ambulance left at 7:23 p.m. The Lifeline helicopter was dispatched at 6:12 p.m. and dropped its patient off at University of Arizona Medical Center.
Service records
The bucket has a 1,000-pound weight limit, and is to be serviced annually, according to the manufacturer. It last was maintained in August 2011.
Louis said the entire apparatus undergoes routine and preventive maintenance throughout the year based on hourly usage. The ladder and its components are required to undergo an extensive annual testing process by a third party, which last occurred Aug. 24, 2011. The next test was scheduled for the last week in August, Louis said.
Louis said this kind of ladder failure, involving a section sliding backward, is "almost unprecedented."
DPS investigating
Meanwhile, Fire Chief Simon Davis asked the Arizona Department of Public Safety to conduct an administrative investigation and the first DPS officer arrived about 7:30 p.m. Wednesday. The DPS investigator marked the scene off and removed materials from the truck and items that fell to the ground, officials said.
Sutphen's Creese said he is providing information to DPS and he could not talk in detail about his work until DPS releases its investigation, which Creese expects within two weeks.
A DPS spokesman said the case is under investigation but said he could not release a timeline or other details.
Davis said the district will review its policy for public access to the ladder truck after DPS completes its accident review and the truck is returned to service, though he does not contemplate any changes for regular trucks.
"In regards to allowing the public on the trucks and riding in them, our current policy allows it as long as standard safety issues are followed, as was (done) in this case," Davis said.
The ladder truck was built in 2009, and went into service in 2010.
The ladder truck will be out of service "indefinitely," according to the GVFD, and will go back to Sutphen for repairs.
Other departments have offered to step in to help. GVFD has a 65-foot ladder without a bucket that is being refurbished and should be ready "very soon," according to the department.
All I can say is to make sure that you wait for the outcome of the entire investigation.

Not to completely derail the conversation....but why? We do it every year at our open house, once the kids and parents complete their "Fire Safety Scavenger Hunt" they get harnessed in and go for a ride. Our insurance has no problem with it....No different than putting firefighters in it.
Edited to add: of course there's always a FF with them...and no unaccompanied kids.

At a time when support of the public is so vital to us, that's some of the best P.R. there is.
08-24-2012, 10:46 PM #12I can't believe they actually pay me to do this!!!
One friend noted yesterday that a fire officer only carries a flashlight, sometimes prompting grumbling from firefighters who have to lug tools and hoses.
"The old saying is you never know how heavy that flashlight can become," the friend said.
-from a tragic story posted on firefighterclosecalls.com
I don't know a builder that makes their own cables. There is one glaring point made from this incident. Ladder belts were in use and that saved at least one life. Unless they are built into you PPE I understand that they are one last thing to put on but this is a clear reason of why they should be used.
Train like you want to fight.

While I understand this sentiment and lean this way myself, one must wonder how a department asks it's members to train or do other non-emergency tasks using this equipment if it's deemed too dangerous for civilians? If the reason not to take civilians is potential danger of injury or death from a catastrophic accident, what do the guys tell their wives and kids? I'll bet the probability of this happening is lower than bleachers collapsing or even a firetruck hitting the same civilians at an intersection. Let's hope that our equipment isn't anticipated to fail and that the majority of FD's are properly caring for it, thus limiting the potential dangers to extremely low probabilities.

This isn't the first time this has happened.
That was a completely different cause.
Please take the time to call the Palm Beach County FL fire chief. He has stated the exact cause, who the blame is on, and he is more than welcome to share that information.
Funny thing about episodes like this, the incident is well publicized...but the outcome of the investigation is never released. Only thing people remember is that Brand X had a problem.

Jul 17, 2012 1:39 PM
LONDON (AP) - Apart from a wrong turn by a bus driver, a snarky tweet by a U.S. athlete, a few waterlogged venues and a lack of security guards, organizers are insisting everything is fine at the London Olympics less than two weeks before its opening ceremony.
Still, they had to scramble Tuesday to put the best face on an unfolding security debacle - as well as concerns about everything from transport to the rain - afflicting the games that start July 27.
"Let's put this in proportion," games chairman Sebastian Coe told reporters. "This has not, nor will it, impact on the safety and security of these games, that of course is our No. 1 priority."
Yet his efforts were undercut in Parliament, where the chief executive of the G4S security group acknowledged that his company's failure to recruit enough Olympic staff had embarrassed the entire nation. Some 3,500 British troops - including some just back from Afghanistan - had to be called in on short notice to fill the gap. Thousands more military personnel had already been assigned to the games.
And outside Parliament, hundreds of London cabbies ignited new traffic jams as they protested their exclusion from special road lanes set up across London for Olympic athletes and VIPs.
Because of the security guards fiasco, G4S says it expects to lose between 35 million to 50 million pounds ($54 million to $78 million) on its Olympic contract, which is equal to about 12 percent of its annual profit.
G4S chief executive Nick Buckles gave a groveling mea culpa as he was being quizzed by angry British lawmakers in testimony that was broadcast live on television.
"It's a humiliating shambles for the country, isn't it?" asked Labour lawmaker David Winnick.
"I cannot disagree with you," Buckles said.
Still, Buckles was hard pressed to explain why his company had failed to inform officials until only two weeks before the start of the 2012 Olympic Games that its recruitment efforts had failed.
Some American security and law enforcement officials had privately expressed concerns as early as last year that there might not be enough security personnel for the London games.
"Now, it seems like some of those fears are being realized," a U.S. law enforcement official said Tuesday, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the press.
The FBI is sending about two dozen FBI agents to London to work on Olympic security, according to two U.S. government officials. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the plans.
Transport worries sprung up after two buses carrying Olympic teams from Heathrow - one for Americans, another with Australians - took a wrong turn and spent hours Monday trying to reach the athletes village.
"First day. First arrivals. It's going to happen," Jayne Pearce, head of press operations for the London organizing committee.
From the very start, London organizers have feared repeating the transit woes of the 1996 Atlanta Games, where bus drivers brought in from outside the city didn't know their way around. That allegedly happened Monday in London, even though Heathrow sailed through its heaviest passenger day ever with short immigration lines and plenty of help for Olympic travelers.
Coe urged optimism, despite a Twitter storm that erupted when American hurdler Kerron Clement took to the social networking site to express his frustration with what he said was a four-hour bus ride from Heathrow.
Coe said Clement's bus journey actually took 2 1/2 hours and most athletes experienced no problems in reaching the village.
"Apart from a misturning and a couple of tweets we're in pretty good shape," Coe quipped. "The majority of athletes got in in good shape and on time. When they were met by our village mayor and chief executive, they were busily tweeting, saying how much they were enjoying village life. Ninety-eight percent of these journeys went without a hitch."
Coe also downplayed the complaints about traffic problems caused by the opening of a special Olympic traffic lane on the M4 highway from Heathrow into the city. He said despite one accident west of London, "the vast majority of people got through and it seems to be working quite well."
The "Games Lanes" reserved for Olympic officials, athletes and VIPs remain a contentious issue. Hundreds of London cab drivers blockaded the square outside Parliament on Tuesday, blaring horns and snarling traffic to protest their exclusion from the lanes.
The cabbies claim it will be all but impossible to ferry passengers around the city once most of the special lanes take effect July 25.
Yet the weather may prove an even more intractable problem.
Coe said "we've got mops and buckets" to deal with the incessant rain that has soaked London for most of the summer. The ground at two key venues is waterlogged - the rowing at Eton Dorney west of London and the equestrian at Greenwich Park, south of the Thames river.
"It is a problem," Coe said. "It is causing us extra challenges now."
Coe said organizers are resurfacing areas at the two venues, laying down temporary tracking for vehicles and spectators and putting up special tent shelters to keep the work force dry.
Although forecasters say the weather could clear in time for the start of the games, Coe noted that organizers have contingency plans in case it doesn't.
Extra competition days were built into the schedule "as a last resort" for rowing and equestrian. There is an alternate course available for sailing events at Weymouth, in southeast England, and Wimbledon has a retractable roof over Centre Court for tennis.
Olympic Park, however, still resembles a construction site, with workers laying cables, installing seats and landscaping grounds Tuesday.
Not to worry, Coe said.
"Our venues will be open on time," he promised. "There is still stuff to be done, but it's about dressing up. We'll be ready."
Meantime, Britain's Olympics minister, Hugh Robertson, said the deployment of soldiers at Olympic Park would give people "enormous reassurance."
Robertson, a former army major, said athletes are "incredibly reassured to see the armed forces on the gate."
The London Olympics run until Aug. 12.

The specific signals used by the referee are intended to communicate decisions and instructions so it's vital that these signals be performed clearly and accurately. U.S. Soccer recommends that referees of all levels follow these guidelines to provide consistency and clarity when delivering information and directions to other members of the officiating team, players, substitutes, team officials, and even spectators.

Frances Perkins biography
Cabinet member, public official, and social worker. Born on April 10, 1882, in Boston, Massachusetts. Appointed by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Frances Perkins became the first woman to serve in the cabinet. She came to the position of secretary of labor with extensive experience in public service.
After graduating from Mount Holyoke College in 1902, Frances Perkins spent some time doing social work. She went on to earn a master's degree in sociology from Columbia University in 1910. That same year Perkins began striving on behalf of workers as the head of the New York Consumers League. She saw first-hand the deadly potential of poor working conditions as a witness to the infamous 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Fire that killed more than 100 factory employees. This incident inspired Perkins to lobby harder on behalf of the workforce.
Later, as industrial commissioner of New York State, Frances Perkins was in a position to help improve work regulations and related social programs. In 1929, she was selected as the state's labor commissioner by then governor Franklin Delano Roosevelt. After Roosevelt won the presidency and took office in 1933, he brought her to Washington, D.C., to become the secretary of labor. As the first female cabinet member, Perkins worked hard to improve the country's labor conditions. She played an important part in the development of Roosevelt's New Deal programs. Perkins also fought for laws to set minimum wages and contributed to the creation of the Social Security system through her role on the President's Committee on Economic Security. Perkins stayed in her position until 1945 and then joined the U.S. Civil Service Commission.
Married to Paul Caldwell Wilson in 1913, Frances Perkins resigned from public service not long after his death in 1952. She went on to teach Cornell University's New York State School of Industrial Relations. Perkins served a lecturer there until shortly before her death. She died on May 14, 1965.

Financial Services Roundtable
Definition of 'Financial Services Roundtable'
The Financial Services Roundtable represents 100 of the largest integrated financial services companies which provide banking, insurance and investment products and services to American consumers.
The stated goals of the Financial Services Roundtable are to:
Investopedia explains 'Financial Services Roundtable'
The Financial Services Roundtable as it is currently known was formed in early 2000 when the first members from the securities, investment and insurance sectors joined their banking industry counterparts (who had formerly been assembled as the Bankers Roundtable) as founding members of the Financial Services Roundtable. The Bankers Roundtable chose to expand its mission in April 1999 to represent integrated financial services firms in response to industry shifts and congressional financial modernization legislation.
The Bankers Roundtable was originally formed in October 1993 as a result of the merger of the Association of Registered Bank Holding Companies (formed in 1958) and the Association of Reserve City Bankers (formed in 1912). |

"These birth announcement cards are beautiful! The paper is thick and of excellent quality, and the colors are vibrant and gorgeous. I had a hard time choosing a design because Tiny Prints has so many good ones, but I made a great choice. People loved these! I'm sure our little guy's announcement will be on our family and friends' fridges for a long time to come!"
"Great way to announce your baby! Our friends and family loved the cards. Excellent quality. Great layout. It covers all the information you would want to include, and you don't have to figure out the layout yourself!! I loved the square card, and used the regular postage envelope option. Even the envelopes are great quality. Highly recommended!"
"I love this announcement. The paper quality is a nice weight and the colors are vibrant. We mixed black and white photos and color. We used one color photo of baby and whole family and the rest black and white. The combination really looked nice."
"The site was easy to use and the result is amazing. I love the cards that were created and I felt like the site was super user friendly even adding pictures to the announcement was easy."
"This birth announcement is beautiful. The quality of the paper and printing is outstanding. I love that you can put pictures on the back of the card as well as the front. My husband and I were very pleased with the way our son's announcements came out!"

"And if you knowingly over-serve we will forward you the restaurant and bars to the District Attorney or City Attorney to enforce the law on the books about your establishments joint liability"

Beth Jacobs February 26, 2014 at 12:55 pm
Do you know how many "prostituted people actually WANT, or CHOOSE to prostitute? I can provide…Read More 2 different studies that have the same results. One is in the US. I participated in this myself. Prostituted women were interviewed by U.S. Department of Health & Human Services Office of Rescue & Restore, Polaris Project, & a list of NGO's across the US. They wanted to see how many of these women were sex trafficking victims. I myself helped 120 women get interviewed. We sent the information to Washington DC & they decided if that person was a trafficking victim or not. Out of the 120 women 119 of them were found to be trafficking victims by the United States government and issued Human Trafficking numbers. So that is about 99% of prostituted women who are trafficking victims. The next study was done in the UK. This study had very similar results. "But Jim Wells MLA replied with figures from PSNI Det Supt Philip Marshall, who told a local conference in 2011 that "only one to two per cent of women involved in prostitution are there through choice"." So as you are talking about ALL of these Sex workers who CHOOSE to be in the life, you are only talking about 1% of the total population. I am a survivor who lived in this life for 6 years, went through a healing process, went to college, earned a bachelors in social work and then worked with other women like myself for 15 years in MN. I moved to AZ where I am starting an agency for survivors as well. I see that you said sex trafficking is NOT sexual abuse, that it is a human rights issue...Your EXACT quote: This isn't trafficking, which isn't a sex crime but is a human rights abuse. Those forced into sex work should not be charged with prostitution but should be rescued from the traffickers. It IS a human rights issue, and victims should NOT be arrested, BUT it is ALSO a sex crime. Many many prostituted people get raped continually..... I think you need to get your stats right. I have worked with approximately 2000 women throughout my career, and I have met 2 who liked it and said they would choose it no matter what. You are speaking for a tiny sample of people. Please let people know that. It is fair to say that MOST prostituted women are sex trafficking victims

About an hour north along the coast in Ventura, we have an 1862 pioneer cemetery, with 3,000 graves,…Read More with 76 veterans going back to the Mexican American War and one Indian Wars Medal of Honor recipient. 40 years ago, the City itself, pulled out all of the headstones, took them up to a cliff in the nearby hills, threw them off the cliff and returned to the Cemetery to do some minimal grading. Then they opened the Cemetery up to the public as a "leashless dog park." Now our 3,000 American pioneers gets a daily round dog desecration. The City Council refuses to budge
We could use some legal help up here too!

Eden Memorial was sold to a Texas cemetary Company whose only interest was profiteering. The…Read More original company was a jewish agency and obeyed all of the religious rites and observances. This Company had no interest in the religious constrictions or of moral constraints.
The date of the sale is relevant to the Lawsuit since the class action covers a suit against the Texas company only and that was 1985. The desecration of graves took place throughout the entire property so I have no way of knowing what happened to my mother who was buried in 1969.

Got to be the Black Leather!!! So SEXY!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would like to know your opinion.
Got to be the Black Leather!!! So SEXY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Elvis in black leather is very sexy
Where's the contest????? The King in Black Leather, of course!!!!!!! What could be hotter??
"More people today should see him not simply as a performer, but as an artist with a great soul."
John Bakke, professor emeritus
University of Memphis
Elvis was sexy with everything in the '68 Comeback
Anyway, the best to me is black leather suit
Black leather of course, very sexy.
I´m voted Black Leather is very very SEXYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Black leather.....that's when I knew I was in love!
No one can wear leather like Elvis in that 68 special!! He was delicious!
Last edited by midnight; 12-13-2008 at 11:53 AM. Reason: left out a word
I voted Black Leather but i'd like the Gospel section too.
I prefer it all man..........but hands down it's black leather.He looked so cool and sexy
that it's not even funny.Those stand up and sit down shows speak for themselves.My second choice is the white suit.............due to the fact that If I Can Dream is my all time favorite song.
I prefer Elvis Presley to all those other Elvises in the Comeback Special.
Black Leather Do I have to define why? lol
"You can knock me down, step in my face,
slander my name all over the place"
- But don't YOU step on my blue suede shoes -
*You walk past me- I can feel your pain-Time changes everything -One truth always stays the same - You're still you - After all - You're still you *
Black Leather, very nice
Looking good
Elvis in leather!!! No doubt about it.
The One and Only King of Rock'n'Roll.
I'm not sure what you mean with this question. If it's about his looks I think black was his colour so I choose black leather and my favorite performance of the special would be the sit-down shows.
Last edited by Donut; 12-14-2008 at 11:48 AM.
Dear Rena, I think the black leather was one of his hottest and sexiest suit for sure. He looked amazing in it. But I love his white suit as well, when he sang "If I Can Dream" in the show. Hugs: Betti

You were out until 0230am on a school night? Wow, wild and crazy man! I remember those days...
Listening is Love
Two microphones. Two ears listening. With my teponatzli, an Aztec slit drum, and a fresh pair of Vic Firth 7A drum sticks, I marched back and forth between two $35 Audio Dynamica Low-Z Dynamic microphones: "Stage left near!" Smack! Against the teponatzli. It produced a low tone. "Stage left far!" Whack! I gave the log another beating, this time on the higher pitch. "Center stage!" Barararata! I let off a diced-up buzz roll. I slapped on some cans to listen to the recording. It was all screwed up.
I had my microphones switched around, with my left mic panned all the way to the right and the right all the way to the left. Hearing me say "stage right" over and over into my left ear threw my head into an auditory whirlwind. Thus, I adjusted my Mackie DFX6 to pan the mics hard in the correct directions. I repeated the whole process: Smack! Whack! Barararata! Stop. Rewind. Play. The sharp crack against the log drum rang quick and bright with unpleasing reflections off my white plaster walls. The farther I walked back from the mics, the farther the log drum sounded. What beauty! A recreation of the existence of real sound in time and space! Two microphones equal two ears listeningwhat we all want from our recordings: to hear what is really happening.
People listen to music on so many different occasions and for so many different reasons. My mother listens to music as a classical guitarist, imagining David Russell's left and right hand technique while absorbing his gracious dynamics reflected within the depths of the concert hall. My father listens to music to remind him of his father singing old Sephardic songs on Friday nights with candles burning and red rice on the stove. I listen to music because it moves me, like a great orator. I love hi-fi because it helps me better understand what the musicians are saying. When you feel Billy Gibbons grip his guitar pick a little tighter towards the bottom with his thumb almost at the tip of the plectrum, his guitar just gets so wet. It squeals. Or when Trane blows so furiously into his sax that he churns past the note and just starts piercing your ears. Just at the point where you think he's going to completely lose it, he arpeggiates wildly back into a subtle and beautiful coda. Or when Charly Garcia's powerful voice starts to crumble into frailty and brutal honesty. These are not just musicians. They are speakers of sounds throwing their feelings on the table preaching and pleading for your belief.
Last night at the Sidewalk Caf around 2:30am, a poet took the stage. Her name was Penny. A tall pretty girl with long black curly hair, a tight red shirt, and a long bohemian skirt, Penny approached the stage nervously. Before reading her poems, Penny complimented the audience on their respect for the performers: "I'd like to thank everyone for really listening tonight. Everyone listens to each other, and it's really amazing." Always listening, always willing to give feedback, and despite the quality of any performance, always clapping like mad, the Sidewalk Caf is one of my favorite places because there is an appreciation and camaraderie amongst all. At the Sidewalk, listening is love.
Similarly, hi-end audio is a selfless act. We are workers for the world of music and its performers. The thousands of dollars that audiophiles spend on monstrous loudspeakers and thick, slick cables are not shameless self-indulgences, but expressions of grand devotion to the recreation of an expression, an emotion, a feeling! To truly take someone's words to heart. To find yourself in someone else's soundstage. To give yourself away and believe in somebody else's dreams instead of your own.
As everyone listens for different reasonsmy father for nostalgia and faith, my mother for her performance passionthey also show their love. But audiophiles are the greatest lovers in the world. Through the recreation of music and love and time and space, they're willing to drop everything, lose themselves in the depths and layers of the recording, and elope.
Wow! What a great description of Audiophiles!! I too listen to music because it moves me. And I must say it's about the music AND the equipment to play that music as far as I'm concerned!! I buy the best CD's & gear that I can afford as they help me to appreciate the music even more! Welcome back Ariel!!! I look forward to more writing from you & of course the '09 buyer's guide. Thanks! Larry

Early this year, a report by a California environmental group brought attention to toxic chemicals in plastic baby bottles, causing
a run on glass versions. Next came a conference funded by the National Institutes of Health and other major groups at which similar warnings were announced. The concern: A chemical in some plastics called bisphenol A (BPA) -- which has been linked with cancer, impaired immune function, hyperactivity, and other problems -- can leach into a bottle's contents.
"There's no need to be frightened, but you should try to reduce your baby's exposure to this chemical," says pediatrician Harvey Karp, M.D., a board member of Healthy Child Healthy World, a non-profit group that raises awareness about environmental toxins. Here's how:
Avoid hard polycarbonate plastic, which contains BPA. Instead, use bottles made of glass, or softer, safer plastics made of polyethylene, polypropylene, or polyamide. Brands that carry these include Born Free (which makes only BPA-free bottles), Gerber, Sassy, and Medela; call the manufacturer to check which it sells.
Discard worn bottles (those that are cloudy or scratched): Chemicals leach into food more easily when plastics break down.
Don't heat plastic bottles in the microwave, or wash them in the dishwasher, since heat degrades plastic, releasing chemicals.

Dr. Lesemann--Why take any action at all?Dr. Kent--Only from the standpoint of ethics.Dr. Beaton--I do not think it is unethical, I just do not like the idea.Dr. Manning - I do not believe we ought to take official action on this, because I know there will be some doctors who do not want it. Perhaps it would be unfair to nurse anaesthetists. In a sense you would be favoring just those who have an M.D. If he gives it out to his own patients, it would be up to him.Dr. Lesemann--They are not 'his own' patients.Dr. Manning--I tell my patients about this in the office, that I am going to call a consultant and he will charge.Dr. Costin--Does anyone feel there is an ethical problem involved? Why not tell Dr. Rupp it is up to him? I so move.Dr. Bernstein--I do not actually see any objection to it, but do not like the idea. I think too much of this education confuses and upsets people. Motion seconded by Dr. Kent, and carried.Letter from the Secretary of the District #2, Arizona State Nurses Association, in reply to the inquiry of January 28th, 1953, relative to nurses working for the osteopaths, was read by the Secretary. The A.S.N.A.'s attorney, C.A. Carson, says "There is, in our opinion, no present legal prohibition against the practice of nursing under the supervision of a licensed osteopathic physician or surgeon, or in an approved hospital of that school, nor was there such a prohibition prior to passage of the new act." (The Medical Practice Act for Osteopathic Physicians and Surgeons).With reference to prescriptions for narcotics, Dr. Manning said that he has been called on recently by federal men from Phoenix with reference to this matter; that some of the outlying drug stores will still take prescriptions by telephone, but that physicians have been warned to be careful.Dr. Manning said, off the record, that if the State Society, through the A.M.A., would write to our legislators in Washington, trying to get someone to work out a check system--calling you back to see if you are there--something might be worked out.Dr. Costin - What do you do if someone calls at 2: A.M. because of dysmenorrhea?Dr. Manning--Get out of bed, or say you will call a taxi to come to your house, pick up the prescription and go to the drug store and bring the medicine to you; or have the patient come to your house and pick it up.Dr. Beaton--What is your own feeling, Dr. Manning.Dr. Manning--I think we should go ahead and get Council to do something about it. This man from Phoenix said they have been squeezing them from above, and they have to carry out their job. They caught one man the other night because he said his number was 4,000. They are in town now and will check Tucson for the next two months.Dr. Harry Thompson--This should go to your legislative committee and council that this problem be investigated and it may be possible to amend that. I move that this be forwarded to Council and acquaint them with this problem here. It might be worthwhile to go to Jacobson and review the Act and see if we can make an intelligent recommendations. I admit our problem here is different that in other cities in the country. Most of the prescriptions that are sent out over the telephone are for codeine, possibly 90%, and this should come under exempt narcotics. I move that we refer this matter to the Council to see if we can, on a state level, make some recommendation to our legislature to amend or change the present narcotic law. Motion seconded by Dr. Kent and carried.Fee schedule received from the Colorado State Medical Society in response to our inquiry was presented by the Secretary. It was moved by Dr. Rudolph that this matter be tabled. Motion seconded by Dr. Lesemann and carried.Secretary instructed to obtain more material from Alameda County Plan.

There are three main types of digital video interfaces: P&D, DFP, and DVI. P&D (Plug & Display, also known as EVC), the earliest of these technologies, supports both digital and... more/see it nowanalog RGB connections and is now used primarily on projectors. DFP (Digital Flat-Panel Port) was the first digital-only connector on displays and graphics cards; it's being phased out. There are different types of DVI connectors: DVI-D, DVI-I, DVI-A, DFP, and EVC. DVI-D is a digital-only connector. DVI-I supports both digital and analog RGB connections. Some manufacturers are offering the DVI-I connector type on their products instead of separate analog and digital connectors. DVI-A is used to carry an analog DVI signal to a VGA device, such as a display. DFP, like DVI-D, was an early digital-only connector used on some displays; it's being phased out. EVC (also known as P&D) is similar to DVI-I only it's slightly larger in size. It also handles digital and analog connections, and it's used primarily on projectors. All these standards are based on transition-minimized differential signaling (TMDS). In a typical single-line digital signal, voltage is raised to a high level and decreased to a low level to create transitions that convey data. TMDS uses a pair of signal wires to minimize the number of transitions needed to transfer data. When one wire goes to a high-voltage state, the other goes to a low-voltage state. This balance increases the data-transfer rate and improves accuracy. collapse
The DVI (Digital Video Interface) technology is the standard digital transfer medium for computers while the HDMI interface is more commonly found on HDTVs, and other high-end displays. The Digital... more/see it nowVisual Interface (DVI) standard is based on transition-minimized differential signaling (TMDS). There are two DVI formats: Single-Link and Dual-Link. Single-link cables use one TMDS-165 MHz transmitter and dual-link cables use two. The dual-link cables double the power of the transmission. A single-link cable can transmit a resolution ?of 1920 x 1200 vs. 2560 x 1600 for a dual-link cable. There are several types of connectors: ?DVI-D, DVI-I, DVI-A, DFP, and EVC. DVI-D is a digital-only connector for use between a digital video source and monitors. DVI-D eliminates analog conversion and improves the display. It can be used when one or both connections are DVI-D. DVI-I (integrated) supports both digital and analog RGB connections. It can transmit either a digital-to-digital signals or an analog-to-analog signal. It is used by some manufacturers on products instead of separate analog and digital connectors. If both connectors are DVI-I, you can use any DVI cable, but a DVI-I is recommended. DVI-A (analog) is used to carry an DVI signal from a computer to an analog VGA device, such as a display. If one or both of your connections are DVI-A, use this cable. ?If one connection is DVI and the other is ?VGA HD15, you need a cable or adapter ?with both connectors. DFP (Digital Flat Panel) was an early digital-only connector used on some displays. EVC (also known as P&D, for ?Plug & Display), another older connector, handles digital and analog connections. collapse
The High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI®) is the first digital interface to combine uncompressed high-definition video, up to eight channels of uncompressed digital audio, and intelligent format and command data in... more/see it nowa single cable. It is now the de facto standard for consumer electronics and high-definition video and is gaining ground in the PC world. HDMI supports standard, enhanced, and high-definition video. It can carry video signals at resolutions up to and beyond 1080p at 60 Hz (Full HD). The latest version eve support 4K video resolutions. HDMI offers an easy, standardized way to set up home theaters and AV equipment over one cable. Use it to connect audio/video equipment, such as DVD players, set-top boxes, and A/V receivers with an audio and/or video equipment, such as a digital TVs, PCs, cameras, and camcorders. It also supports multiple audio formats from standard stereo to multichannel surround sound. Plus it provides two-way communications between the video source and the digital TV, enabling simple remote, point-and-click configurations. NOTE: HDMI also supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), which prevents the copying of digital audio and video content transmitted over HDMI able. If you have a device between the source and the display that supports HDMI but not HDCP, your transmission won't work, even over an HDMI cable. HDMI offers significant benefits over older analog A/V connections. It's backward compatible with DVI equipment, such as PCs. TVs, and other electronic devices using the DVI standard. A DVI-to-HDMI adapter can be used without a loss of video quality. Because DVI only supports video signals, no audio, the DVI device simply ignores the extra audio data. HDMI standards The HDMI standard was introduced in December 2002. Since then, there have been a number of versions with increasing bandwidth and/or transmission capabilities. With the introduction of HDMI (June 2006), more than doubled the bandwidth from 4.95 Gbps to 10.2 Gbps (340 MHz). It offers support for 16-bit color, increased refresh rates, and added support for 1440p WQXGA. It also added support for xvYCC color space and Dolby True HD and DTS-HD Master Audio standards. Plus it added features to automatically correct audio video synchronization. Finally, it added a mini connector. HDMI 1.3a (November 2006), HDMI 1.3b (March 2007, HDMI 1.3b1 (November 2007), and 1.3c (August 2008) added termination recommendations, control commands, and other specification for testing, etc. HDMI 1.4 (May 2009) increased the maximum resolution to 4Kx 2K (3840 x 2160 p/24/25/30 Hz). It added an HDMI Ethernet channel for a 100-Mbps connection between two HDMI devices. Other advancements include: an Audio Return Channel, stereoscopic 3D over HDMI (HDMI 1.3 devices will only support this for 1080i), an automotive connection system, and the micro HDMI connector. HDMI 1.4a (March 2010) adds two additional 3D formats for broadcast content. HDMI 2.0 (August 2013), which is backwards compatible with earlier versions of the HDMI specification, significantly increases bandwidth up to 18 Gbps and adds key enhancements to support market requirements for enhancing the consumer video and audio experience. HDMI 2.0 also includes the following advanced features: Resolutions up to 4K@50/60 (2160p), which is four times the clarity of 1080p/60 video resolution, for the ultimate video experience. Up to 32 audio channels for a multi-dimensional immersive audio experience. Up to 1536Hz audio sample frequency for the highest audio fidelity. Simultaneous delivery of dual video streams to multiple users on the same screen. Simultaneous delivery of multi-stream audio to multiple users (up to four). Support for the wide angle theatrical 21:9 video aspect ratio. Dynamic synchronization of video and audio streams. CEC extensions provide more expanded command and control of consumer electronics devices through a single control point. HDMI connectors There are four HDMI connector types. Type A and Type B are defined in the HDMI 1.0 specification. Type C is defined in HDMI 1.3, and Type D is defined in HDMI 1.4. Type A: 19 pins. It supports all SDTV, EDTV, and HDTV modes. It is electrically compatible with single-link DVI-D. Type B: 29 pins. Offers double the video bandwidth of Type A. Use for very high-resolution displays such as WQUXGA. It's electronically compatible with dual-link DVI-D. Type C Mini: 19 pins. This mini connector is intended for portable devices. It is smaller than Type A but has the same pin configuration and can be connected to Type A cable via an adapter or adapter cable. Type D Micro: 19 pins. This also has the 19-pin configuration of Type A but is about the size of a micro-USB connector. HDMI cable Recently, HDMI Licnsing, LLC announced that all able would be tested as either Standard or High-Speed cables. Referring to cables based on HDMI standard (e.g. 1.2, 1.3 etc.) is no longer allowed. Standard HDMI cable is designed for use with digital broadcast TV, cable TV, satellites TV, Blu-ray, and upscale DVD payers to reliably transmit up to 1080i or 720p video (or the equivalent of 75 MHz or up to 2.25 Gbps). High-Speed HDMI reliably transmits video resolutions of 1080p and beyond, including advanced display technologies such as 4K, 3D, and Deep Color. High-Speed HDMI is the recommended cable for 1080p video. It will perform at speeds of 600 MHz or up to 18 Gbps, the highest bandwidth urgently available over an HDMI cable. Additional resources and licensing information is available at HDMI.org. collapse
