|Actually, in a lot of smaller homes, the entrance and living room are all one in the same. :)
I have a ranch style home. When you walk in the front door, you are in the combined living room/dining room. We recently pulled up the carpet and we will have the wood floors re-finished in a couple of weeks. What we need to decide is what to do with the "entrance".
When you come in the door, directly to your right is a small coat closet. Then in front of you is the dining area and to your left is the living room. We have about a space that is about 80" wide by 52" deep to put flooring down. Depending on the flooring used, we may need to cut out some of the wood floor, unless we can just lay right on top of it. Currently there is a place where slate used to be that is about 52" by 52" and it just has subfloor.
So, what kind of material would you use for this tiny entryway? My dad suggested Duraceramic, which we are considering, but it has got mixed reviews and I'm not sure its my final choice. I went to a tile shop and now I am considering travertine. The good news is my Dad is a contractor, so we can get a lot of materials at cost. The bad news is if Dad is not willing to install, we have to pay someone labor. If Dad installs, he accepts payment in the form of a couple of home cooked meals. But Dad is not as young as he used to be and I think Dad is going based on what he thinks will be easiest.

|whatever you use if you'll be cutting out a section of the wood flooring you'll need to be sure it isn't higher than the wood and if it's less then you'll have to put an underlayer to help even it out.
I'd go with tile.
|This is an old picture of mine. I actually have a separate entry, though small. It is L-shaped and I am standing on the side to take the photo. That is the front door on the right, the coat closet next to it, and the opening to the living room opposite the front door. I am standing in the L that goes to the den (fka the garage). The flooring is tile - we are on a cement slab. The living room is wood and there is a transition piece between the tile and wood to cover the height difference. There is carpet in the den and it just butts up to the tile.
If your house is like my mom's house, the "entry" is just a square of tile inside the door. When I grew up, there was no tile there, the whole thing was wood floor. She added ceramic tile a few years ago and I don't really care for it. I'm sure it is less worry than cleaning the wood after people come in with wet feet, but like steph said, the tile is higher than the wood and I swear I trip on it every time I'm there because the corner of it has to be crossed to walk from the bedrooms to the dining room.

Well built, easy to fix with the right tools, great in all driving conditions
I can never have enough power,
The Jeep — what can I say this has it all, good on and off road, smooth on the highway, solid on trails, I've never really had to put it in the shop except for a transmission flush, lots of room that helped me move stuff in and out of school, great sound system, all around my favorite vehicle out of all the ones I've owned
Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

Everything. Not one bad thing at all
If I had to say it, its NOTHING
1998 Jeep Cherokee 4wd Sport — This is by far the best vehicle I have ever owne, hands down. She has 258,000 miles on her and everything works. I mean even the lights in the ashtrays. She runs smooth, starts every time, has never let me down, and has been up to her wipers in mud and water. I can't praise this vehicle enough. Too bad they went soft on us, joined the ranks of the Malibu, Impala, etc...

Good gas mileage
High maintenance
Good Jeep — It's a Jeep so it needs work a lot. I like the looks, the ease of finding performance parts, the reliability. It gets good gas mileage, mine gets about 19 averaged both city and highway. Usually more on the highway, like 22, and city is about 16 I think. It's fun for me to drive, the stock suspension is soft which is good, I upgraded with a lift kit which is a lot more firm, makes it feel a lot more like a Jeep.

Durability, Cost of ownership
Looks, comfort
There's A Reason Jeeps Are Popular. — This thing just won't die!! But to be fair, I'm glad it hasn't. This truck's been through so much and keeps on kicking! It's cheap to maintain, solidly built and tough as nails. It'll probably still be running when I'm in my eighties.
Primary Use: Utility (towing boats, transporting cargo, etc.)

Versatility Meets Fun — 100 bucks for a great versatile car. always starts, drives strong, 4 wheel drive. minimal signs of aging. very fun. classic design and legendary jeep performance. no bells and whistles, no unnecessary options, not much to go wrong. just me, the road, and whatever trail i feel like conquering.
Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

Many things!
'98 Jeep Cherokee — It accelerates really quickly, but the brakes are a lot less sensitive than my other vehicles. The back hatch rattles a bit when you drive, but other than that, it's nice. It's lifted, so the gas mileage is a bit more than it would be normally, but altogether it's not bad at all. It's a VERY fun car to drive-- offroading in this thing is the best. :)

compact car with lots of big car features.
fuel economy and phantom faults
Good To Own But Getting Older And Harder To Repair — performance ,very good lots of torque. build quality..better than earlier jeeps this is my 5th and newest so i am pleased they got better.appearance very good simple and functional.costs...heavy on fuel but only around town.cheap to repair because i have many resourses to repair without paying labour costs .fun factor great .
Primary Use: Commuting to work

1998 Jeep Cherokee 4 Dr Classic 4WD Review
its different
no negatives
Jeep — This is my first car and it's the best first car that a kid could get. The performance on it is awsome has new brakes, and it has a throttle body spacer wich gives it more horsepower. The apperence is like no other jeep you have ever seen it has rubicon decals a rubicon tire rack and a full size tire on it. The fun factor is a 10 it's lifted so i go muding all the time and it beats and truck out there. IT'S A JEEP THING

lots of all round useable strength
expensive parts and fuel economy both make for expense!!!
Jeep/heep En Espanol Lol — This car rules!! with the sturdy jeep construction and the monstrous 4.0 litre engine and switchable sports box(automatics only) it makes for eye opening acceleration and the power for towing anything from a trailer to a tractor....Off road capability isnt the best, however, with its good design and sturdy construction if you bounce into a few rocks or hitch up on a tree stump dont worry too much(trust me I know)

Great Handling on dry, wet or snowy roads (we have the top-of-the-line 2WD, AWD, 4Hi, 4Lo Transfer Case - HIGHLY recommended)
Gas Mileage a bit low (average around 15 mpg).
Completely Satisfied - One Of My Best Vehicle Purchases Ever. — We absolutely love our Jeep. We will probably buy a second one to replace our Ford Taurus Wagon as our other winter vehicle. Our summer cars are both Sports Cars (a Mazda Miata and a Datsun 240-Z) so we're into good handling - and despite being an SUV, the Jeep Cherokee is a VERY good handling vehicle - we have Rancho Shocks on it and the suspension is nice and tight - it takes curves great. Also has very spirited acceleration. It is a blast to drive in snowy weather - nothing stops it (we have Bridgestone Blizzaks on the original 15" wheels for winter and a set of Goodyear Fortera TripleTreds on 16" Wheels for the rest of the year. Gas Mileage is a bit low compared to more modern SUVs (we average around 14-15 mpg). Now that it's getting older, minor wiring issues are starting to crop up (Drivers Door Speaker no longer works, 3rd Brakelight only lights if tailgate is open, Electric Window switches on passenger doors stopped working even when master switch is in "On" position, electric door locks only function when door is in certain positions). Fortunately, the Driver's Master set of switches for the windows still works - so I have all the control... :-) The Engines and Drivelines in these Jeeps go on forever - but as they age, smaller issues happen with wiring, alternator, etc. But bear in mind, I've now got nearly 200,000 miles on it and it is 16 years old. I remember a time when if one got 100,000 miles and 6 or 7 years of good service out of a car (or Jeep) one was doing good. Over all I'm completely satisfied - one of my best vehicle purchases ever.

November 29, 2013 - Philadelphia, PA
The proverb "success has many fathers" is rarely clearer than in the many stories about the rise of Silicon Valley and the diverse web of people, institutions, resources, and dynamics that transformed the San Francisco Peninsula into an astonishingly intense locus of technological activity. Several threads of this web are now legend: Dave Packard and Bill Hewlett's garage workshop, the tireless networking of Stanford engineering dean Fred Terman, the audacious young scientists and engineers who founded Fairchild Semiconductor Corp. and later Intel Corp. Other threads are just as critical but less well known, like the electron and microwave tube industry of the 1940s and the tremendous growth in military aerospace efforts in the '50s.
But one intriguing thread has been entirely forgotten, if it ever was really known. It connects the Nobel Prize–winning physicist William B. Shockley, the chemist and industrialist Arnold O. Beckman, the automation craze of the 1950s, and Shockley's vaulting imagination of a robotic workforce. Read more.

But How Will I Be Able To Shoot Myself After 15 Minutes of Beyonce?
The Examiner
Music mogul wants to trade guns for Beyonce tickets
If hip-hop music manager Michael "Blue" Williams, the head of Family Tree Entertainment, has his way, New Yorkers will be able to trade guns for Beyonce tickets.
That's part of Williams' plan for a private-sector gun buyback that he's pitched to the New York Police Department, the New York Daily News reports.
"We want to get as many guns off the streets, and if this works, we'd like to support it," Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly told the Daily News.
If his "Guns for Greatness" buyback is approved, Williams, who has managed OutKast and Cee-Lo Green, hopes his celebrity ties will help get both Beyonce and husband Jay-Z on board.
"I think we should all work together to help get guns off the streets," Williams said.

They're concerned about getting 'guns' off the streets when they should be more concerned about getting 'criminals' off the street.+3
Let me see, I'm going to let my 15 year old daughter go to a concert that is marketed to thugs with guns??? Yeeaaahhh, right, that's gonna be well-behaved audience.
I'd say it's a safe bet to assume that there will be a few fights after, if not during, this show.+2
I just read (here?) that she and JZ were part of a million dollar shindig put on by Nigeria, monies taken out of anti-poverty aid funds. It was 2006, but still.+1
Somebody would have to shoot me with one of those guns to get me to attend a Bee-un-say concert.+2
A ticket to a Beyonce extravaganza must be worth -
what … 50 cents? A dollar?
Shitty .22s are going for $200.
Can I get in on this action?
(if I get to keep the guns)+2
I'd buy a ticket to this nasty whores concert, if they'd give me a AR10.+5
The same groups this douche managed are the ones who keep having shootouts at the BET awards. Lol.
Fool, clean yo own heezy+1
Bring in an old, non-working gun. Get Beyonce tickets. Sell them on Ebay or scalp them at the venue to some brain-dead schmuck that thinks "She's all that." Do this as many times as you can get away with until you have accumulated enough money to buy that new Sig P220. Send a letter of thanks to Beyonce, Williams, and the New York police.+1

WASHINGTON -- Can you guess the English word most written on the Internet in 2013?
According to one company: 404.
The Global Language Monitor is out with its 14th annual report of the English words and phrases most popular online. "404," the near-universal code meaning failure on the internet, was followed by "Fail," "hashtag," "@pontifex," and "The Optic."
The survey says rounding out the top 10 were: "Surveillance," "drones," "deficit," "sequestration," and "emancipate."
Some groups thought the pope's mention was interesting.

text: MULTIBUS I The Multibus standard was originally developed by Intel. It specified four busses, called the Multibus System Bus, the I/O Expansion Bus (iSBX), the Execution Bus (iLBX) and the Multichannel I/O Bus. The multibus system bus was adopted as IEEE 796, and the iSBX bus was adopted as IEEE P959. Multibus is popular in industrial systems, and while it is a fairly old bus, it is still in common use. The original design dates back to the early 70's. In the early 80's, Intel created Mutlibus II, which was later adopted as IEEE-STD 1296. Multibus II will not be covered in this article. Because of the existance of Multibus II, the original Multibus is often referred to as Multibus I. This article is not intended to be a thorough coverage of the standard. It is designed to give hobbyists and designers a general overview of the bus and how it works, so that they may be able to design their own multibus cards. For a more information, the Intel "Multibus Handbook" is an excellent resource. The copy I have is dated 1983, and has an order number 210883-001. I have not contacted Intel to see if this book (or a later version) is still in print. The actual bus standards are also available from Intel. Contact Intel for more information (http://www.intel.com). Multibus, Multichannel, iSBX, and iLBX are trademarks of Intel Corporation. MUTLIBUS OVERVIEW The following diagram shows a typical multibus system. Note: You will need a fixed space font (all the characters have the same spacing) to be able to properly view the diagram. Specialized I/O | ==iSBX Bus== Local Memory | | |----====iLBX Bus====== | | I/O | Communication Other | CPU Interface I/O CPU--Dual Port Ram | | | | | ============Multibus System Bus================= Note that there are many other combinations possible. The above diagram is given only to show how the various busses may all be used in a single system. The important concepts are the use of multiple bus masters, multiple data paths, and the use of dual port ram as a method of communication throughout the system (either cpu may access the ram, making it an ideal method for transmitting data back and forth). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- MUTLIBUS SYSTEM BUS ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Multibus cards have two connectors. The larger is labled P1 and is used for the multibus system bus. P2 is used for the execution bus, although it also contains two address lines used by the system bus. I am using Intel's notation for the bus signals, with the exception of the address and data lines. Intel numbers these in hex and uses the designations ADR and DAT. I have numbered them in decimal, and use the simpler A and D for address and data respectively.

Older systems may have -5 volts on both of these pins. Signal Descriptions: +5, +12. -5, -12: Voltage Supply Lines A0-A23: Address Lines. Note that these lines are active low (a low voltage indicates a logic 1). D0-D15: Data Lines. Note that these lines are active low (a low voltage indicates a logic 1). BCLK: Bus Clock. 50% duty cycle. This clock is not constant. It may be stopped, single cycled, or used at a varying frequency. Any bus master in a system should be able to drive this clock. The maximum frequency is 10 MHz. This signal may be completely independent from CCLK, although in practical systems, both CCLK and BCLK will usually be derived from the same source. CCLK: Constant Clock. 50% duty cycle. Frequency varies, but is fixed for a given system. 10 MHz is typical. INIT: Initialize. This causes all cards in the system to initialize. It is asserted on power-up. Bus masters may assert this signal. This signal may also be driven by a panel switch (debounced). LOCK: This signal prevents access to dual port memory used as a shared resource between processors. Bus masters will drive this signal low between read and write operations during a Read-Modify-Write (RMW) cycle. BREQ: Bus Request. This is used by bus masters to request control of the bus. This signal is not shared between cards, but instead goes to a parallel arbitration circuit on the motherbaord. BPRN: Bus Priority In. BPRO: Bus Priority Out. BUSY: Bus Busy. CBRQ: Common Bus Request. MRDC: Memory Read Command. Used to indicate the type of bus transfer. MWTC: Memroy Write Command. Used to indicate the type of bus transfer. IORC: I/O Read Command. Used to indicate the type of bus transfer. IOWC: I/O Write Command. Used to indicate the type of bus transfer. XACK: Transfer Acknowledge. Asserted by the slave to acknowledge the transfer, so that the bus master knows to end the transfer cycle. INH(x): Inhibit. BHEN: Byte High Enable. Indicates a 16 bit transfer. INT(x): Interrupt request. INTA: Interrupt Acknowledge. DATA TRANSFERS Data transfers may be 8 or 16 bits. The command lines are used to indicate the type of transfer. 8 bit transfers use the lower 8 data lines for both even and odd byte transfers. 16 bit transfers use all 16 data lines. Multibus Sytem Bus Read/Write Timing Diagram: ___________________________ A0-A23, BHEN [A] ------<___________________________>---- Command Line __________ _____________ (MRDC, MWTC, IORC, IOWC) |______________| ___________ D0-D15 [B], Read ------------------<___________>-------- ___________________________ D0-D15 [B], Write ------<___________________________>---- ____________________ ________ XACK |__________| Address setup time |---| 50 ns min Data hold time (read) |----| 60 ns min XACK removed after command line removed |----| 65 ns max [A] BHEN will be inactive (high) for an 8 bit transfer, and active (low) for a 16 bit transfer. [B] D0-D7 only for 8 bit transfers The bus master first drives the address lines. BHEN will be driven active for 16 bit transfers. For a write operation, the data lines are also driven using the same timing as the address lines. The command line is driven next, indicating the type of bus transfer (IORC for an I/O read, IOWC for an I/O write, MRDC for a memory read, MWTC for a memory write). For a read operation, the slave device places the data onto the bus and drives the acknowledge line (XACK). The master then reads the data from the bus. For a write operation, the slave device reads the data from the bus and drives the acknowledge signal to indicate that it has read the data, and that the master no longer needs to drive the address and data lines. A bus timout occurs when the slave device does not acknowledge the transfer. The timout mechanism prevents the master from waiting indefinately for a response that it may never receive. The minimum time before the master is allowed to timout is 1 millisecond. INHIBIT The inhibit lines are used during memory operations (MRDC and MWTC). An inhibit line is asserted by a slave device to inhibit another slave device's bus activity during the memory operation. The inhibit system is based on priorities, and slave devices may be top prioriy, middle priority, or bottom priority. A lower priority device will be inhibited by a higher priority device. A middle priority device uses only INH1, which will inhibit activity by a bottom priority device. A top priority device would use INH2 to inhibit a middle priority device, and also would use INH1 to inhibiy a bottom priority device at the same time. Inhibit signals are ignored during I/O operations. LOCKING THE BUS The bus may be locked during a read-modify-write exchange. This prevents other processors from accessing the memory between the read and the write, which could cause problems in multi-processor environments. To lock the bus, the current bus master must assert LOCK 100 ns before the read command line is removed, and must hold this line active until at least 100 ns after the falling edge of the command line for the last locked cycle. LOCK must be released within 12 microseconds from its assertion (in other words, you can't lock the bus for more than 12 micro- seconds at a time). INTERRUPTS The interrupt request lines (INT0 - INT7) are level triggered, active low. INT0 has the highest priority, and INT7 has the lowest. Interrupts may be implimented on Mutlibus systems using either bus vectored or non-bus vectored interrupts. In a non-bus vectored system, the bus master does not need to access the bus for the interrupt vector. It simply responds to the interrupt in the appropriate manner, then continues processing as normal (the exact function of interrupts depends on the particular system). Bus vectored interrupts transfer the interrupt vector over the bus during the interrupt acknowledge process. In this case, the bus master generates two INTA signals. Bus Vectored Interrupt Timing: _____ ___________ INT(x) |________________________________________| __________ _____ _______________ INTA |____________| |____________| ______________ A0-A23 ----------------------------<______________>-------------- [A] __________ D0-D7 --------------------------------<__________>-------------- [B] ____________________________________ _________________ XACK |___| [A] The address lines contain the interrupt address while the second INTA signal is active. [B] The data lines now contain the interrupt vector. Some systems may use a third INTA pulse to transfer a second interrupt vector byte. Systems are permitted to use either a single byte interrupt vector, or a 2 byte interrupt vector, but not both in the same system. It is possible to have both bus vectored and non-bus vectored interrupts on the same system.

Rio de Janeiro City Breaks
A guide to Rio de Janeiro
Rio de Janeiro is undeniably one of the most visually stunning cities in the world. Sandwiched between soaring peaks and glistening beaches, it has more than its fair share of iconic sights to savour. Top of the list are the evocative statue of Christ the Redeemer, and the eccentric looking Sugarloaf Mountain. Despite conspicuous poverty, Rio witnesses glamour on a grand scale, and the legendary beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema are symbolic of Brazil's laid-back fun-loving lifestyle, providing an uncompromising view of the city's unwavering obsession with beauty.
Hot Latin nights of music and dance
Rio nights are hot in every sense, with an intoxicating energy found nowhere else in the world. The whole city resounds to the samba beat which is like a religion to the local 'Cariocas'. Check out the Lapla and Botifago districts for the hottest all-night bars and clubs. If you are visiting during Rio carnival, you can expect a marathon samba-fest of dazzling and barely-legal costumes, street parades, glitzy balls and full-on partying. Go to the vast Sambadromo for non-stop dance competitions, spectacular pyrotechnics and addictive Latin rhythms.
Explore a colourful past
History buffs will enjoy a visit to the sumptuous art deco Copacabana Palace Hotel or baroque Candelaria Church. Rio's inspiring History Museum is an Aladdin's cave of colonial treasures and exotic South American artefacts. Shopping in Rio de Janeiro are as glamorous as any classic European capital, in its swanky boutiques and mega malls of elegant Barra da Tijuca district. The best advertisement for the city is its people themselves, and the spirit and boundless energy of its citizens in spite of widespread poverty is what makes it such an uncompromising and memorable experience.

I found a good Protein drink at Walmart. It's called "Pure Protein Shake". It has 23 grams of protein, only 1 gram of sugar. It tastes good--reminds me of YooHoo. I'm drinking the Frosty Chocolate one. It helps quite a bit - I drink that in the morning instead of a full breakfast, and it does help curb the hunger quite a bit for me. It's 120 calories.

Thanks for posting this Jim, I'm not a breakfast person in the first place and have been having trouble finding something to "eat" for breakfast. This is a great source of protein with not a lot of sugar.

Be careful. Do not use protein shakes as meal replacements. They can be used as a planned snack. Solid food should be eaten at each of the 3 meals per day. Otherwise you may jinx yourself and develop hunger and other metabolic situations. I am saying this because I want everyone to succeed.

I agree with Nadia - unless this is your ONLY means of getting in your protein; do not use a shake as a meal resplacement post WLS. You need to develop good habits - sitting down & eating three meals per day & a planned snack or two (depending on how far along you are). Snacks should be protein packed at least the first year. You can definitely do shakes towards your liquid intake. You need to get your tummy into the fullness stage three times a day. Getting protein from meals is the best way of getting protein.
Jim - glad you found something you like and that works for you! How are you doing otherwise? Still living in JT? I'm doing well. At my place in Palmerton now, 2 years. And 17.5 weeks pregnant! Weight is slowly creeping up (as it should be) but still kinda makes me a tad "upset". After I have the baby (due date is January 27th) I will be working hard to get off any gained baby weight; plus the 20lbs I was up from maintenance.

Agree that ideally you should get your protein at meals from food, but 1 meal per day as a protein shake is acceptable-especially for the "non-breakfast eaters!"

I usually do eat breakfast, and I don't plan on giving it up entirely. But I do want to skip it sometimes in order to help cut back on the caloric intake. The protein shake helps cut the cravings, too. Anything to help me lose some of this weight I gained back.
Last week I got lots of exercise while on vacation--trimming bushes and trees in our back yard and setting up and taking down tables for a flea market we had at our church. I'm trying to get out and walk more, too.

Hi, Meg!
Yes, otherwise, I'm doing fine. I'm still in Jim Thorpe, taking care of my parents - they are both 83 and need help with a variety of things, so we share the house there.
We started a new Lions Club in Lehighton - Beltzville Lions - and that keeps me busy, as I am the secretary. We will be working at the Redneck Festival this weekend - we have the Chinese Auction, the Dunk Tank, and the Redneck Horseshoes.

My advice on protein drink would be it should be taken with care. Packaging foods are at higher risk than profit with respect to health. Always make a wise choice and tradeoff

Nicaragua? How about Celebrity Survivor starring Ollie North?
Nicaragua rumored location for seasons 21 & 22, Philippines for seasons 23 & 24
realityblurred is reporting that Survivor 21 and 22 may be filmed back-to-back in Nicaragua, with seasons 23 and 24 taking place in Caramoan in the Philippines.
For production this summer, the show may go to Nicaragua, according to online chatter. That traces back to a Television Without Pity post, which cited its writers' parents conversation with a crew member while on vacation. That's obviously a flimsy source, though the geography in Nicaragua—which is now tourist-friendly, unlike in the 1980s—makes it seem probable, as does its camera-friendly environment. And after two back-to-back island locations, I'd also expect that the show will move to an inland, non-island location for the next two seasons, and then back to islands again.
There's more concrete reporting about the filming location that would be used for the seasons filmed in 2011, which is Caramoan, in the the Camarines Sur province of the Philippines. The Philippine Daily Inquirer reported that "A top executive of the provincial government, who asked not to be named because negotiation was still ongoing, revealed that 'Survivor USA' would also be filmed here next year until 2012. Its production crew searched many areas in the Philippines and found Caramoan the most ideal place for filming because of its unique geographical features and available facilities that meet production standards."

i lived in nicaragua on the pacific coast in a village named san juan del sur. it's gorgeous, and by no means a difficuly place to "survive" in. however, go an hour or so, in any direction, other than south to costa rica, and it's pretty scarce and isolated. so, nicaragua….depends on where in the country.
Amber: Well I live in Australia and it was the same thing… it's hilarious to see them survive in such a place.
But then, we live in comfort… what would it be if we were in their situation with no comforts?
Nicaragua is beautiful and very tourist friendly now. There are several vast and expansive areas to the country as well where "Surviving" will be perfect. Amber, my father-in-law has several vacation homes in Nicaragua including one on the beach about an hour from Leon on the Pacific Side. I am really looking forward to the next season.
it would be great if the american survivor will shoot their upcoming seasons on the different islands here in the philippines…i think surviving here will be more challenging…

Excitement Leads to Exhaustion
As I've mentioned before, we own our own business. It's fun and exciting and I get to play boss so of course that's not all bad. When I say "come home early", my husband has to for fear of being fired. OK, not really but sometimes I like to joke that way because, well, he's a man and basically deserves to be harassed whenever possible <joke>. Nothing like sexual harassment though, huh?
We are currently working on a new product aimed at children's safety. That's all I'm willing to say right here and now, but let me tell you, we are very excited about it. Enough so that I'm actually working at night on it (even after working all day on it). I even worked while trying to watch 24 last night. The problem for me and working at night is that I can't stop thinking and go to sleep, so I have to wait at least an hour after I shut down the computer before heading to bed. Even if I can't keep my eyes open, I can't stop thinking about what needs to be done next. It's annoying as hell but maybe we're all like this when we get really excited about something.
Working on this new idea has been exhausting for me. I get so excited that I actually shake. Yes, you'd think I was giving a presentation in front of a million people or something. It's awful - it causes typos and all sorts of things. I'm not terrible about typos, but I do occasionally make them. I'm even better about not leaving words out of sentences, but I notice I've been doing a lot of that lately too. My hands can't keep up with my brain, and I type probably 85 words per minute (that high school typing class really paid off 25 years ago! It's been the most-used skill I acquired there). I have to admit, though, it's great to be so excited about something that it makes you quiver. It's been a long time that I've had this kind of feeling - and in fact, perhaps never. Even adrenaline rushes in police work are different (invigorating, yes, but in a very different way). In police work you don't think, you just act. In business, you'd better think long before you act or you either make a total ass of yourself (which is OK sometimes) or you step on toes without meaning to - and that could mean a door slammed in your face.
I have to say this to anyone out there wanting to start a business: yes, it's scary, especially if it's something you have to go into whole-hearted - by that I mean quitting your day job - and yes, it's a huge risk. But someone said something to me today that really stuck (you've heard it before, as have I): those who take the greatest risks usually get the greatest payoffs. It's true. So if you're debating, even if you have a family to feed and a mortgage to pay, do it. Find a way to make it work. We are, and let me tell you, I'm glad we're doing it. If we don't get it right the first time, we're going to try again. You see, every time you fail, you hopefully learn something. And the more failures, the more tenacious you can become. And one day, you'll have your big payoff.
But you might be exhausted while you're clawing your way through the failures!

Lacey Heavy Rescue
FF Ryan Cox from Lacey (WA) Station 31 sent in an interesting write-up of a situation they recently ran into. It involves a 700lb man, a 2nd floor Jacuzzi, and some imagination. Ryan's full description of the event is listed below as the first comment to this post, it's a long read, but well worth it.
It may not have been how everyone would have handled it, but that doesn't make it wrong. Remember, the most important part of the story is that it worked for them…

Prioritizing Victim Rescue
On a working fire the Truck Company may be faced with multiple victims hanging in windows awaiting rescue. How do you prioritize who gets the bucket (or ladder) first? What are some of your considerations? Remember the loudest victim may not be the one in greatest distress. When teaching tactics, I always use this video to put it all in perspective. -Jimm-

Man In Machine Kit
Every truck company should be prepared to handle those obscure rescues like: machinery entrapments (fingers, hands, arms) Child stuck in a swing seat, and even simple ring removals. These calls can easily be handled by a well-trained and properly equipped crew and a little ingenuity. Included below are some photos and inventory list of the Man in Machine (MIM) Kit carried on Winter Park (FL) Truck 61. The kit is carried in a Pelican Box with shelves made from ½" HDPE plastic, and tools are secured in place with Velcro straps. The box is a little on the heavy side, but meets the need. We'll point out a few of the more oddball items included in the kit with a quick explanation of how it's utilized.
Many of the newer style of wedding rings are made from more exotic materials than previously found like tungsten carbide and titanium. These modern ring materials are to strong for the traditional ring removal tools often found in medical bags. This kit contains a ring cracker specifically made for tungsten carbide rings and a dremel tool and spoon handles for cutting titanium rings. The spoon handle is placed under the ring in between the ring and patients finger so the dremel blade does not come in contact with skin.
The snap ring pliers is a great tool to carry since many machine components like rollers are held in place by snap rings on the ends. The snap rings are present to allow of the machine to be taken apart for maintenance. When dealing with a MIM type rescue, sometimes the simplest way to remove the entrapment is to take the effected portion of the machine apart instead of just trying to pry or defeat it in a destructive and often more time consuming method.
Having simple lubricants handy like soapy water and vegetable oil work well in instances when less traumatic injuries are present and the effected body part is simply "stuck." The water can be used as a cooling agent when any of the grinding tools are being utilized. Simply poking a few holes in the cap of the water bottle allows for the water to be squeezed out or dripped into the area of need.
This kit is by no means the best kit out there; it has been assembled to handle the most common types of MIM incidents Truck 61 has encountered. Depending on the type of entrapment other items found on the truck are also utilized such as simple mechanics tools.
(1) RING CRACKER w/ (2) SPOON HANDLES
(1) WIRE CUTTERS and (1) HEAVY DUTY END NIPPER
(1) SMALL HACK SAW w/ SPARE BLADES
(1) SMALL FLAT HEAD SCREW DRIVER and (1) MULTI-HEAD SCREW DRIVER
(1) 9" PRY BAR and (1) 11" PRY BAR
(1) LONG REACH NEEDLE NOSE PLIERS and (1) LONG REACH 90 degree NEEDLE NOSE PLIERS
(1) LARGE HACK SAW (stored on back side of tray)
(1) ANGLE GRINDER w/ DIAMOND BLADE
(1) 2.5lb DEAD BLOW HAMMER
(1) 1000ml VEGETABLE OIL
(1) 1000ml WATER
(1) 1000ml SOAPY WATER
There are some tremendous resources available to learn more about MIM type Rescues, the guys over at www.plvulcanfiretrainingconcepts.com have some great resources. Also www.countyfiretactics.com has been featuring a bunch of MIM props that Andrew Brassard from www.brotherhoodinstructors.com has been submitting. It doesn't take much to assemble a kit to increase your capabilities for the often challenging calls. So what other items have you found a need for in your MIM kit?14 comments

Free Tiller Webinar
VentEnterSearch's own Jimm Walsh will be co-presenting a webinar with Lt. Steve Crothers from Seattle Fire titled The Well-Choreographed Tiller Operation on Wednesday November 14, 2012 at 1pm EST. This free webinar is being hosted by FireRescue Magazine and firefighternation.com. Details for signing up for the webinar can be found by clicking here.
Here is a short description of the class:
Tillers are some of the most exciting apparatus to watch, but a smooth, safe, effective tiller operation requires an immense amount of training and coordination. Bringing your firefighters to a high skill level can be a significant challenge. Tractor-drawn aerials are extremely unique pieces of apparatus that requires formal training; the days of "on-the-job training" should be the way of the past. This presentation identifies the principles, concepts and dynamics of driving and tillering a tractor-drawn aerial and will prepare you to overcome the common pitfalls that tractor-drawn aerial operators encounter. You'll have the opportunity to view unique perspectives that illustrate superior and standard tractor-drawn aerial fundamentals.
You'll learn:
• Pros and cons of tractor-drawn aerial apparatus
• Key issues for maneuvering tractor-drawn aerial apparatus and how to overcome common placement obstacles such as narrow streets, overhead power lines, hills, etc.
• Common driving mistakes made by tiller operators and tips for improved communication between tiller operator and driver
• Factors to consider when spec'ing a tiller
Now that the webinar has past you can still click here to see the archived version, simply complete the registration information and it will bring you to the archive.6 comments
Elevator Key Ring
Assistant Chief Michael Wolfschmidt from Surf City (NJ) sent in these photos of a simple modification they have made to their elevator key ring. Simply adding snap rings to attach each key to the main ring allows for easy removal. It is much easier to manipulate the lock with the single key than the entire ring. Unfortunately the one downfall to this modification is that it defeats the purpose of having all of the keys attached directly to the ring: It's easier to misplace an individual key.
Another idea is to make a smaller ring with just one or two keys for the most common elevator doors found in your first due. The smaller ring will be used most of the time, and is much easier to work with without having to remove keys. It is also a good idea to make two set of the smaller rings with identical keys. (Obviously the one in the picture below is missing a key, but you get the idea.) This approach allows for the truck crew to split up and approach the top of the elevator car (to secure the power) and the actual elevator door (to facilitate the rescue) simultaneously. These simple tricks speed up the rescue, and make our job much easier.

Residential Shutters
Rex Orcutt from East Pierce Fire and Rescue in Pierce County (WA) sent in these photos of something they recently ran into at a residential fire. The house was equipped with metal rolling shutters. Prior to entering the structure, the shutters were in the open position. While operating inside, the crew heard a loud bang, and the window went dark. The shutters had automatically lowered themselves into the closed position. Some quick work with the rotary saw took care of the issue. After the fire they started to determine how the shutters operated.
As you can see from the photo below, the shutters are operated from the inside by a hand crank mechanism that is attached to the shutters by a nylon strap. The heat from the fire melted the strap causing the shutters to lower into position.
When the shutters are stored in the open position, they maintain a low profile, and can easily go unnoticed prior to making entry.
Obviously having the shutters close during our operations can cause a number of issues. Having a crew ready to defeat them once the lower may be a viable option, but is far from ideal. Preventing them from lowering in the first place is key to making this a successful operation. One simple solution could be a simple pair of vise grips secured to the track from the outside to prevent the shutter from being able to lower.6 comments
Bucket O' Chain
Andy Golz from Duluth (MN) Rescue 1 sent in this idea for simple chain storage. They were not happy with their previous set-up using old O2 bags for the chains, so they set out to find a better solution. They found a few empty foam containers and cut the tops off with a reciprocating saw. Once the top was removed a few holes were drilled about two inches from the top of the container. A few out-of-service prussik cords were used to form the handle secured to the container with a barrel or scaffold knot. Before securing the second side of either prussik, the cord was run through a five inch section of garden hose to complete the handle. Hanging the hooks on the top edge of the container makes them easy to find, and prevents the chain from getting tangled.

Slinging the Saws
We recently had the pleasure of spending the day with the Clearwater (FL) Truck 45. The crew of Truck 45 was an extremely dialed-in and well trained crew in regards to truck company functions. One of the many points of discussion throughout the day was the age old debate of Bucket vs. Straight Stick. Clearwater Truck 45 is a Tractor Drawn 100ft Aerial, so the crew was quite familiar with ways to maximize effectiveness without the need for a bucket.
One of the simple yet effective methods they shared was how they rig their aerial when making the roof. Whenever the aerial is being utilized for roof operations, the tip is loaded with some essentials prior to beginning operations. The crew loads a total of three saws, at least two hooks, and a roof rescue bag. Their saw complement is extremely well thought out… 2 saws for whatever roof is expected (wood vs. metal) and an additional saw for the opposite roof material just in case. This complement of saws has served them well, and has allowed them to continue effective operations when a different roofing material is encountered. This can actually happen quite regularly with build-outs and additions. In addition, a roof ladder is secured to the fly section of the aerial whenever a parapet is known, or expected. This simple addition of the most commonly utilized tools for roof operations prior to operating the aerial allows members to climb the aerial with both hands, or even better, to provide free hands for whatever other equipment is needed. For example, at least one member always carries a set of irons to roof.
(as mentioned earlier they actually attach three saws, only two are shown above)
Their method of attaching the saws is simple, a section of webbing is girth hitched onto the aerial, looped though the saw handle, and secured back onto itself with a carabineer. This method allows the saw to be removed easily by simply unclipping the carabineer, without having to deal with removing the girth hitch.
The beauty of this operation comes in the actual placement of the aerial to the roof. The aerial is flown higher than the roof, and over (beyond) the edge. The aerial is then lowered until the equipment lands safely on the roof, or goes behind the parapet. The final step of the operation involves retracting the aerial slightly so it is level with, and just away from the roof. This final placement allows for the tools to be readily available to the crew once they make the roof, and allows for an easy safe transition off of the aerial. They realize this placement may slightly limit the aerial's "visibility" from across the roof, but have found it provides a much safer and quicker way to transition from the aerial to the roof. The aerial tip lighting, and the equipment staying attached (like the roof rescue bag, and "off saw") provide for easy spotting of the aerial form across the roof. Also visible in the picture is a bean bag on a piece of webbing. This remains attached at all times, and is used for verifying aerial placement to the building or window when the other equipment is not attached.
The key to success with this operation (as with any other) is with training. The speed and precision that was demonstrated by the Truck 45 crew proved that they train on this operation regularly. A special thanks goes out to Division Chief Riley, Lieutenant Capo, and the three Jim's for spending the time with us and talking fire.

Buffalo MAYDAY Training
Lieutenant Ronald K Bourgeois from Buffalo (NY) Engine 1 sent in this video of a MAYDAY prop they are using in Buffalo. Unfortunately, the motivation for the prop and annual training came from the tragic loss of two of Buffalo's Bravest on August 24, 2009. Lt. Chip McCarthy and FF Jonathon Croom both fell from the first floor into the basement while searching for a reported person trapped in the structure. (We recently received some additional information from BFD about this training. The training was in the works well before the tragic LODD. The planning and development of this training actually began in January of 2009, before the LODD incident, not as a reaction to the incident.)
The purpose of this prop and training evolution is to build confidence and promote self rescue techniques. The portion of the prop shown in the video is part of a confined space maze that ends with the blindfolded firefighter falling through the floor. The collapsible floor section is activated by an instructor pulling on a rope, removing the hinged floor section's support. Once the floor section collapses, the firefighter falls into a pit filled with foam. The pads end up surrounding the firefighter making movement a bit more difficult, similar to having debris from the collapse. The prop also contains a window at the end of the foam pit so the firefighter can practice self rescue form a high window. The prop cost was roughly $450, and was constructed with 2×4's and ½" plywood. The trap doors were hinged with three heavy duty hinges, with a lip underneath for support. A hinged 2×4 holds the doors up and a rope is the trip mechanism.
Unfortunately, we cannot take back any of the LODD that occur in our line of work, but we can learn from them and try to prevent them from occurring again. Training evolutions like this are an important component to learning from them.http://www.vententersearch.com/videos/props/buffalomaydayprop.flv

RELEASED: March 22, 2007
EAU CLAIRE — A University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire nursing student's research poster was recognized at the 9th Annual Oncology Nursing Society Conference held Feb. 8-10 in Hollywood, Calif. The student received second place in the subcategory of enhancing oncology care delivery.
Junior Jessica Branson, Appleton, received the award based on her research titled "Undergraduate Students and Securing Evidence."
Branson's research stems from a previous study conducted by UW-Eau Claire family health nursing professor Susan Moch, who investigated how the use of discussion groups can educate nurses about the results of current research and more quickly bring that knowledge into nursing practice. In the past, these New Knowledge Discussion Groups were led only by graduate or doctoral prepared nurses. Branson's research investigates the idea that undergraduate students also can lead these discussion groups.
"My overall goal through presenting our research was to show that undergraduate nursing students have a role in nursing research," Branson said.
Branson's research also aims to show the effectiveness of New Knowledge Discussion Groups. She organizes discussion groups at practice sites and evaluates how much the staff learns from the discussions. Soon Branson will be involved in leading the discussion group meetings.
At the conference, Branson discussed her project with researchers and advance practice nurses from all over the world. She said the experience allowed her to learn from the research of others and to better understand the purpose and need for research.

Yael Cohen, Philanthropist
By Gwen Moran
Yael Cohen has a potty mouth, and she's not afraid to use it. After her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009, Cohen made her a "F*** cancer" T-shirt, then started a Facebook group by the same name. Before long, the group had more than 1,000 members sharing support. Four years later, and with nearly 66,000 Facebook followers, F*** Cancer has turned into a fast-growing nonprofit.
The primary goal of the Vancouver, British Columbia-based organization is to spread the word about early detection. F*** Cancer has dozens of brand ambassadors using social media to encourage teens and twentysomethings to talk to their parents about getting mammograms, colonoscopies and other diagnostic screenings to "actively look for cancer, not just find it. Cancer is most curable at stage I," Cohen says.
But this isn't your typical charity for the politically correct set. The organization's cheeky attitude and Cohen's seemingly boundless energy have attracted celebrities like One Tree Hill star Sophia Bush to help get the word out. The marketing is edgy: October's "Touch Yourself" campaign in partnership with Women's Health and Men's Health magazines ditches traditional pink National Breast Cancer Awareness Month branding in favor of a naked woman holding her breasts, encouraging women to do self-exams for early detection.
F*** Cancer's December 2012 fundraising brought in roughly $500,000. Cohen has built trust among donors by posting an infographic on the organization's website that tracks incoming donations and expenses. She says that kind of transparency is important to her community, which expects access to information about the organization's activities and how its money is being spent.
"For our parents and grandparents [cancer is] the 'C-word,'" she says. "We want to shift away from that fear-based marketing and focus on the fact that approximately 90 percent of cancers are curable if caught in stage I."

It's uncommon to see sales increase by double digits. HP had a new laptop called Dragon. Sales were flat after trying traditional marketing. So they decided to try another way – engaging bloggers. A quick way to do that is to send bloggers an ultralight $5,000 laptop to give away to one of their readers.
Nine months after launch, the 15 pound laptop with a 20.1-inch screen and 500-gigabyte hard drive wasn't selling that well. HP hired social media marketing firm Buzz Corps Inc. and they brainstormed with bloggers and HP to come up with the campaign.
Scott Ballantyne, vice president and general manager of the personal systems group at HP, said:

The contention centered around how men and fathers are portrayed in some of Arnold's work. At stake was $150 million in advertising dollars from the Swedish brand. The decision has been made, and despite the hue and cry, Boston-based Arnold won the contract away from incumbent EuroRSCG. It was actually a joint victory -- Arnold will be teaming up with London's Nitro as they move ahead with Volvo.

For the automaker's part, Volvo feels confident that Arnold's knowledge and experience when it comes to automotive advertising will help Volvo's push for sales growth. The immediate efforts will focus on a global rollout of the V70 and XC70 models, Volvo's best sellers. Arnold's creative concept must have fit right in with Volvo's goal of emphasizing their long history of safety developments, care for the environment, and Scandinavian design. We hope we see the same type of magic Arnold mustered for VW in the 1990s alight on the Volvo brand. A focused effort to point out the brand's strengths would do wonders, we think. There's been a lot of swagger in the advertising of brands like BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Acura, and even Lexus. Those brands have more cohesive campaigns with higher concept television spots dovetailing nicely with print ads. Volvo's TV campaigns over the last five years have been inconsistent, at best. The one we remember best is the sound-design-extravaganza S60R commercial. From that high point, we landed in a trough of cheesy spot hell with the "Volvo is responsible for overpopulation" fake newscast ads. We can't recall any Volvo print ads from the last five years, either. We're sure they exist, they're just not memorable.
There isn't any word yet on what Arnold presented to Volvo that clinched the job, but we hope it portrays fathers in a good light, as fatherhood advocacy groups will be watching. It'd be nice to see a move away from the Volvo driving soccer mom stereotype, as well as the boxy but good faux-catchphrase that hasn't applied since 1998. There's not even any need to create commercials with the "dunce father" caricature, as the cars themselves are handsome to behold and offer enough performance for a chain-smoking, gravel throated voiceover artist to brag about.
Boston Arnold/Nitro London appointed as new global advertising partner for Volvo Car Corporation
Volvo Car Corporation has concluded its global advertising agency review and appointed the team of Boston-based Arnold and London Nitro as the new global agency partner. Volvo Cars' strategic marketing platform has been reviewed since last December. This week the executive team decided on Arnold/Nitro based on the power of the agency's ideas to move the brand forward, and their ability to work with Volvo Cars globally.
"Through focused strategic thought, and an inspiring creative idea, we believe they are the best agency team to accelerate the momentum of our brand", says Tim Ellis, director of global advertising at Volvo Car Corporation. "We wanted a powerful, overarching single-minded idea that could leverage and emotionalize our rich heritage in safety, Scandinavian design, and care for the environment".
The Arnold/Nitro team will be globally led out of Arnold's Boston office and will be responsible for managing the strategic and creative development of advertising for worldwide use. The team's first assignment will be the creation of the upcoming global launch campaigns for the all-new V70 and XC70, the two models which were presented earlier this year at Geneva Motor Show and represent the highest volume of cars within the Volvo portfolio.
"We feel that the Arnold/Nitro team is characterized by insight, passion and energy; and for us, that's a perfect fit", says Tim Ellis. "Moreover, they are a solid, down-to-earth team with global experience, and extensive knowledge of the extremely competitive car industry", concludes Ellis.
Four international agencies participated in the last round of the pitch, including the incumbent, EuroRSCG based in New York and London; 180 based in Amsterdam, Netherlands; and Fallon Minneapolis and London.
This agency change will have an immediate effect on the two current creative centers in London and New York. There is no direct effect on other local agreements with advertising agencies globally.

Q. Following a road accident my patient requested a report and a quotation for repairing her damaged teeth. The report details the costs associated with various treatment options and she has since asked me to delete all but the most expensive option which she will send to her insurance company. Should I be worried about doing so?
It is not unusual for a patient to request a report if they are seeking to make a claim following an accident. It is also appropriate to be concerned about the patients request to you.
Any report which you provide should be factual and capable of substantiation by way of the records. It is not unusual for an insurance company to request copies of the records once they have received a claim from a policy holder. They would of course only be entitled to access copy records with the patient's consent. The original report would form part of that record.
As you can imagine if you were to make the alterations requested by the patient then the amended version of the report would not reflect the true facts of the matter. It is therefore entirely appropriate that you leave your report in its current format and explain to the patient that it reflects the true facts of the matter as contained within their
A patient cannot compel you to change the report or your records. To do so would potentially expose you to criticism by the GDC for attempting to mislead the insurer.
