Magpie spotting Spring 2011There's one on the bike path on Wells Station Rd between Gungahlin Dr and Hoskins St, Mitchell. Made a lot of noise but didn't actually come near me, I've come across this one in previous years when I used to commute on this path. Very persistent.
I haven't experienced these personally but there is reportedly one on Nanima Rd near Hall and another on Federal Hwy service Rd (heading back toward Canberra from Sutton).

Re: Magpie spotting Spring 2011one just near the corner of Fincham Street and the roundabout near St Anthony's school.
There's another one on the bike path just north of Atkins street towards Sulwood Drive. He's been fierce in other years but haven't seen him this year yet. But I'd still warn people about him.
Re: Magpie spotting Spring 2011Murrumbateman Rd coming from Sutton, the usual pair are back and taking turns around 1 km past the bridge near the homestead on the left. There are two at the Murrumbateman Nanima Rd Junction, both half hearted and independent of each other (One on the down hill approach still from Sutton, and the other from Murrumbatemaan side). The really nasty reminder that spring has arrived was the other two about 4ks along Nanima Rd from the Murrumbateman Rd junction on the flat section. They've taken it to a whole new level. They're going to be making lots of friends!
Re: Magpie spotting Spring 2011I saw a girl getting swooped today at McCoy Cct Acton/ANU just outside the Film and Sound Archive.
Re: Magpie spotting Spring 2011Two on the uriarra loop this morning.
Agressive helmet tap on Brindabella Rd on a sharp right hand bend going West towards Uriarra village. Got me good. Second one on the western side of the road just after the Mountain Creek/Uriarra Rd turnoff going North.
Re: Magpie spotting Spring 2011+1 the one on Uriarra Road just before descending down Uriarra Crossing
Re: Magpie spotting Spring 2011Found another one this morning - on Melbourne Ave about halfway along between Red Hill and Parliament House. He was a bit of a Ninja, snuck up on me silently, dive-bombed my helmet and then dissapeared as quickly as he'd appeared!
Re: Magpie spotting Spring 2011Persistent little bugger on Owen Dixon drive on the climb between Heydon and Badenoch... never made contact, but between backpack and helmet there wasn't much to hit.
I ride, therefore I am.
...real cyclists don't have squeaky chains...
Re: Magpie spotting Spring 2011The brown snake crossing the bikepath on the way back from Gold Creek on Sunday totally took our minds off worrying about magpies!
Re: Magpie spotting Spring 2011
Missed that one this morning. Towards or away from town? We were doing around 60kmh, so I assume our minds were elsewhere or he didn't bother. There is a nasty one on Southern Cross Dr just after the first part of the climb going to Belconnen. Got me on my helmet just as I came around to do a turn on the front. Came straight at us, then climbed and swooped.
Re: Magpie spotting Spring 2011Got swooped by another one this morning in the middle of Civic outside St George bank!
Re: Magpie spotting Spring 2011Riding back from Civic yesterday, there was one the swooped me in the Aranda parkland route back into belconnen. Up towards the top of the hill on Bindubi Street that leads into Aranda and Cook. Think the maggie was particularly annoyed that I was eating an apple!
P.S. First post
Re: Magpie spotting Spring 2011It's a Sydney story but some incredible photos.
http://www.smh.com.au/environment/anima ... 1kdxb.html Got done on Brindabella Road this morning by the maggie listed above.
Re: Magpie spotting Spring 20111st half assed attempt at me for this season this arvo. Same place as last year, Launceston st just near the Lyons shops heading towards Melrose drive. Raised arm and a few clicks of the fingers were enough to keep him at bay.
Current Ride: Trek Madone 6.5 (2013)
Re: Magpie spotting Spring 2011better start wearing my matte black helmet again. Maybe its all in my head but way less swoops than with the shiny one.
Re: Magpie spotting Spring 2011Barton: on the parliament house side of the road outside DFAT.
Re: Magpie spotting Spring 2011Riding to work *touch wood* I hadn't had the pleasure. Yesterdays ride was a lot later to go out, and later to come back. So the one between Atkins Street and Sulwood Drive was awake. Got a couple of thunks on the lid - so i put my arm up, rode for close to 100 m, finally pulled it down and KERTHUNK again. He got 4 hits all up. Next corner I passed a couple of teenage girls with no lids, but each was carrying a big stick.
On the way home he got me either 5 or 6 times. He was not happy. If you know they're there, that's half the battle as you can expect it.
Re: Magpie spotting Spring 2011Found another couple of swoopers today, or rather they found me! On Hindmarsh Dr near Weston one swooped me just near the intersection of Bangalay Cres and another a bit further up near the Tuggeranong Parkway intersection. The first one just lightly tapped the helmet a couple of times and the second one just flew close and made the loud clicking noise that they do.
Re: Magpie spotting Spring 2011Got attacked by that fecker in the s-bends on Mt McDonald (Brindabella Road) - in the middle of a race, he was going nuts attacking every pack, and got me in the back.
I ride, therefore I am.
...real cyclists don't have squeaky chains...
Re: Magpie spotting Spring 2011One on Mt Ainslie near Ainslie Village. Got me on the ear. Bastard.
Re: Magpie spotting Spring 2011Did Uriarra-Tidbinbilla Loop today was expecting to get hammered...one near the three sisters and then one between Tharwa and Banks on the long bend. Other wise nothing. None between Uriarra Crossing and turn off to Condor Creek, nothing at Mt McDonald and nothing near Flilnts Crossing and Tidbinbilla nature reserve...is it just too early?
Re: Magpie spotting Spring 2011Swooped by one on Gungahlin Dr heading toward the city in between intersection of Gundaroo Dr and The Valley Ave.
Re: Magpie spotting Spring 2011There's now two on Owen Dixon Drive at the back of Evatt. One seems to be going for the ears.
I ride, therefore I am.

Baltic sends four to All-State Chorus
Among the quartets sent to the South Dakota All-State Chorus weekend, which culminated in an Oct. 27 concert at the Rapid City Civic Center, was one from Baltic High School.Kayla Loe (soprano), Seth Schomaker (tenor), Megan Brink (alto) and Nick Foster (bass) represented the school.Baltic choir director Kelley Herman said that students worked especially hard this year to memorize the All-State music."They really enjoyed the song selections, especially 'Festival Sanctus' and 'The Awakening,'" she said. "Participating in All-State Chorus is an awesome opportunity for our students. They learn new concepts and fundamentals about music from the perspective of a different director."Herman added that it serves as a chance for Baltic singers to perform with more than 900 others considered the "best of the best" in high school choirs.Guest conductor Anna Hamre of the University of California – Fresno, directed the conglomerate South Dakota group, which performed selections "Festival Sanctus," "David's Lamentation," "The Awakening" and a joint number with the All-State Orchestra, "Kyrie from Memorial."The concert aired on PBS at 1 p.m., on Thanksgiving Day.

A large dragon who is the purveyor of all that is honorable and powerful. He rewards those who follow his will with Honor Dollars and punishes those that anger him by removing their penis (very kindly). He stands in opposition to Joe and his dishonorable ways of mediocrity. To please him is to commit acts that involve the Triangle Of Honor: Face, Grace and Discipline.

Breaking Bad is popular television series that details the life of fictional character Walter White. White was a high school chemistry teacher who turned to making and selling illegal drugs to pay for his cancer treatments. Anyone who has watched this series is likely familiar with Walter's lawyer, Saul Goodman.
While it was Saul's job to keep Walt out of legal trouble he could be seen breaking the law almost as much as Walter did. This was true not only in his work with Walt but in his unscrupulous and profit driven interpretation of what it meant to be an attorney. Often times this meant embezzling money from his clients, wrongly accusing companies money laundering and more.
The myth of the "ambulance-chaser"
Saul embodied the unethical "ambulance-chasing" lawyer that we have all come to recognize in some of our favorite movies and shows, and even advertised on billboards and radio jingles in real life. In television, Saul is good for a laugh; but when you or a loved one has been injured in an accident there is nothing to laugh about. A dedicated, ethical and professional attorney is essential to protect your and your loved ones' rights.
Facts about personal injury lawyers
If you have been seriously injured in an accident you know that your needs are real. You know that you need professional, ethical and competent representation, not a Hollywood persona, to defend you and your family's rights during this challenging time.
Fortunately real personal injury lawyers and law firms rarely resemble the Saul Goodman's of television and the big screen. Because being a personal injury attorney requires an immense amount of education, a sharp mind and a mastery of the law, many talented people are drawn to the profession. Some interesting facts about becoming a personal injury lawyer include:
- All personal injury attorneys must complete at least 7 years of university level education beyond high school. This includes 4 years of undergraduate study and 3 years of law school.
- Many personal lawyers remain active outside their practices in continuing education, community volunteer work and working in non-profit organizations
- All personal injury attorneys must subscribe to a common set of ethics outlined by the American Bar Association. Failing to do so may result in an attorney losing their right to practice law.
Common Qualities of Personal Injury Lawyers
- Analytical Thinking. Personal injury lawyers must have the ability to use analytical thinking skills to analyze data, facts and all relevant elements of a case.
- Social Skills. While a lawyers primary function is to interpret the law and protect the rights of the client, building a strong relationship and solid rapport is essential.
- Objective Thinking. A competent attorney must have the ability to step outside any preconceived thoughts he or she might have about a case and think objectively. Considering the facts and data of the case is essential.
- Research Skills. Law in general and personal injury law in particular is an ever-changing subject. An attorney needs to be skilled in legal research methods to find relevant laws to their cases.
- Public Speaking. Because attorneys are hired by clients to represent them, it is essential that they can communicate in a clear and concise way.
The complexities of personal injury law
A personal injury attorney is responsible for many complex issues regarding their clients' cases. Also, a personal injury lawyer holds a general responsibility to encourage businesses and workplaces, neighbors and coworkers, drivers and pedestrians to consider their actions before harm has been done to someone else because of the risk of financial compensation. Because of this it is not uncommon for laws to be changed or amended as the result of a personal injury law settlement.
Some examples:
- What happens when conditions in the workplace make you sick or injured?
- Who pays for medical bills when a texting driver harms a loved one?
- Does injury only result from physical harm, or can someone inflict life altering mental anguish upon you or a loved one?
The World without Personal Injury Law
A world without personal injury law and lawyers would be a much more dangerous place. Without personal injury law, we would be at an increased risk of the following:
- The manufacturing company you work for can expose you to toxic chemicals
- The inattentive neighbor can go without repaving their uneven sidewalk
- The insulting and demeaning boss can make workplace comments about your figure
- The maker of your children's toys can put lead in the paint
- An employer does not have to give you time off or pay when you have been injured on the job
- A doctor can continue to practice medicine despite numerous botched procedures
Personal Injury by the Numbers
In a 2005 study regarding personal injury trials that went to court conducted by the Bureau of Justice Statistics, they found Personal Injury lawyers have a record of success:
- Plaintiffs won in more than half (56%) of all general civil trials concluded in state courts
- The median final award personal injury cases was $28,000
- The median jury awards for product liability trials were 5 times higher in 2005 than in 1992; medical malpractice more than doubled from $280,000 in 1992 to $682,000 in 2005
Decrease in personal injury cases
Despite the widespread prevalence of advertisements for personal injury lawyers and their depiction in mainstream television, personal injury trials have actually been decreasing, according to the BJS:
The total number of tort cases (personal injury) declined by 40% from 1992 to 2005 in the nation's 75 most populous counties
Top Five personal injury cases in 2005 by percentage
- Automobile Accidents 58%
- Medical Malpractice 15%
- Premises liability 11%
- Intentional Tort 5%
- Other (Product liability, animal, slander, false arrest, professional malpractice) 12%
What Can a Personal Injury Lawyer do for You?
- Investigate claims
- Gather evidence
- Provide consultation about the options for victims
- Negotiate compensation for victim
- Encourage new laws, statutes and ordinances to be passed for the protection of others
- Safeguard clients from insurance companies, other lawsuits, etc.
- Reference case law
- Interview witnesses
While personal injury lawyers often receive criticism or are portrayed negatively by the media they play a very important role in our society. Not only do they protect the rights of the injured and their loved ones, they can also be instrumental in encouraging the amendment and changing of laws that help make our world safer to live in.

11/17/13 Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the most common eye condition among people age 50 and older. It can gradually destroy the macula, the part of the eye that provides sharp central vision needed for seeing objects clearly. Although AMD does not cause complete blindness, it can present many unexpected challenges. For instance, people with vision loss are almost twice as likely as those with normal vision to experience multiple falls, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. The Sibley Senior Association and the Prevention of Blindness Society of Metropolitan Washington co-sponsor the Macular Degeneration Network. The Network offers opportunities to maximize independence by sharing the latest research, rehabilitative techniques and information about transportation, recreation and fellowship for those with vision loss. Meets Sundays (October 20, November 17 and December 8), Medical Building, Conference Room 2. October topic: How the 21st Century Communications & Video Accessibility Act Can Enhance the Lives of People with Low Vision. November topic: High Hopes for Low Vision. December topic: Keeping Your Eyes Healthy & Comforted. Please call the Prevention of Blindness Society of Metropolitan Washington at 202-234-1010 for more information about upcoming events.

San Diego is a city that greatly appeals to tourists, who will certainly be attracted to southern California by the warm weather and the beautiful parks.
San Diego is the southernmost city of the State of California and is situated on the Pacific. It is a big, lively city with a very mild climate. The centre has been renovated to a considerable extent and the part of it called the Old Town has even been designated as a historic park. It mainly contains buildings from the 19th century.
Sea World, the famous theme park, is certainly worth a visit. You can see killer whales, dolphins and sea lions perform. Another tourist attraction is Balboa Park. The park's attractions include the Museum of Man with Native American exhibits, the San Diego Museum of Art with paintings and the Natural History Museum, with dinosaurs and other exhibits. The world-famous San Diego Zoo is situated in the north-west corner of the park.

The Gracious Calling of Matthew
from Richard Phillips May 04, 2015 Category: Articles
There are many examples of irresistible grace in God's Word. Perhaps most plain is the calling of the disciple Matthew, also known as Levi the tax collector. The apostle records his own conversion in his Gospel: "As Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting ... Keep Reading
from John Gerstner Mar 09, 2010 Category: Articles
There is the gospel in its glory, or rather in His (Christ's) glory. Strictly speaking, you see, justification is not even by faith alone—it is by Christ alone. What is meant by saying sola fide (by faith alone) is not that our God-given faith can save (where works cannot), but that faith unites with Christ who alone saves. Sola fide = solo Christo! The faith, because it unites with Christ, justifies immediately by virtue of that union. Though works operate at the same time that faith does (the plus sign refers to distinction, not separation), they are placed after justification because they contribute nothing to justification. It is Rome's placing works before justification that destroys justification and makes it even impossible. Keep Reading -
Stephen Meyer & R.C. Sproul Talk Intelligent Design, Philosophy & Education
from Karisa Schlehr Mar 08, 2010 Category: Ligonier Resources
One of Dr. Sproul's main goals and missions over the years is for Christians to understand who God is and be able to defend their faith by knowing what they believe and why they believe it. Several years ago, Focus on the Family introduced a very popular DVD-based small group curriculum called The Truth Project. In 2009, a new DVD-based apologetics curriculum was released called TrueU, this time geared for students ages 15-22. Dr. Stephen Meyer is the host of that new series and Dr. Sproul recently sat down with him in our studios to talk about it. Keep Reading -

10 Important Things To Ask a Potential Pastor
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Mar 07, 2010 Category: Articles
When interviewing a potential pastor, what are the ten most important questions that you would ask? I suspect that in most churches the gap between the actual questions and the best questions would go a long way to explain the particular weakness of the particular church. The questions we ask reveal our hearts just as much as the answers reveal the heart of the potential pastor. Here, I believe, is what I would want to ask. Keep Reading -
Seeking a Reformation of Worship
from R.C. Sproul Mar 07, 2010 Category: R.C. Sproul
When Israel's prophets denounced the corruption of Israelite worship, they sought reform, not revolution. Though they vehemently criticized liturgicalism, they never attacked the liturgy. Though they railed against externalism and formalism, they never sought to remove the externals and forms God had instituted. Keep Reading -
Emulating the Model of Worship
from R.C. Sproul Mar 06, 2010 Category: R.C. Sproul
God instituted the model of worship found in the Old Testament. The worship of Israel was formal and liturgical. Solemn rites were central to the experience. The setting of temple worship was anything but casual. The meeting place had an ambiance of the solemn and the holy. The ritual was designed for drama. The literature and music were high and majestic. God inspired the content of songs (the Psalms). The finest craftsmen, who were filled by the Holy Spirit, fashioned the articles of art. God designed the vestments of the priests "for glory and for beauty" (Ex. 28:2). Keep Reading -
John Calvin and Peter Martyr's Correspondence on Union with Christ
from Keith Mathison Mar 05, 2010 Category: Articles
Numerous scholarly works suggest that the correspondence between Peter Martyr and John Calvin in 1555 is crucial for understanding Calvin's doctrine of union with Christ. Peter Martyr's letter was written to Calvin on March 8, 1555, and in it he expresses his own view and requests that Calvin explain his. Calvin's response is dated August 8, 1555. Calvin's response read in light of Martyr's letter reveals his understanding of our threefold union with Christ. Calvin distinguishes between what could be termed incarnational union, mystical union, and spiritual union Keep Reading -
Heaven Rejoices
from Keith Mathison Mar 05, 2010 Category: Tabletalk Magazine
I've written a handful of books on a variety of topics, and one thing that occasionally happens when you publish a book is that people ask you to sign it. I think of signing autographs as something that famous people do, so it feels a bit awkward to sign a book. I'm happy to do it, however. If you've written a Christian book, many people will want something in addition to your signature. They also ask for your favorite verse of Scripture. Many authors will write down a verse such as John 3:16 or Romans 8:28. My favorite verse of Scripture is Zephaniah 3:17. Keep Reading -

Roman Catholicism
from John Gerstner Mar 04, 2010 Category: Articles
This was the great issue of the Reformation. Romanism and Protestantism were agreed on the other great essentials of faith: the Trinity, deity of Christ, His vicarious death, even the necessity of faith in Christ. The great and crucial difference came in answer to the question, "How is the sinner justified by Christ?" Romanism said, "By our works which flow from faith in Christ." Protestantism said, "By faith in Christ alone." Keep Reading

Not just for the new Pokemon, but overall fun you had with that generation of games.
I'm willing to be this is going to be moved to polls but between you and me...Gen II kept me busy for years. And somehow my Silver's internal battery lasted ALOT longer than my Ruby's.

I've had a blast playing those games.
oh, #3 by far. so much nostalgia...
After years, I've finally claimed deoxys! Watch your back! hehe...
5th Gen for the win!
I am a Christian and proud of it! Copy and paste this into your sig if you are too.

All in all, I'd say that Gen III is my favorite, though I have a hard time playing it now because of the old physical/special type system. The availability of physical and special moves within each type was the best change Pokemon made since Gen II, and since that's only available in Gen IV and Gen V, that's what I play now. I still get out my Emerald from time to time, but I just can't quite get into it.
If/when GF redoes Hoenn with the new system, that'll be my favorite gen.
Gen IV. Love the generation to death But Gen 5 was great as well. Can't really decide. I love them both.
Gen 3 or 5.
Gens 4 and 5 were the best for me, although I did enjoy Gen 3 and have quite the soft spot for Gen 2. The only Gen that I didn't like was Gen 1, mostly because of a little mishap involving Moltres and my inability to ever finish any of the Gen 1 games as a kid. Plus there's the fact that at that time, I thought that the anime was immensely superior to the games.
Oh, how time has changed me. (For the better, of course.)
Last edited by Endolise; 14th December 2012 at 10:36 AM.
You really CAN'T not love Gen 5 in terms of playability. They've just added so much stuff (Triple Battles, Rotation Battles, Join Avenue, The World Tournament, PokeStar Studios, etc) that it's easily the most enjoyable and has the most versatility.
After that, I'll go Gen 2. Why can't more Generations replicate the multi-region experience? Sixteen gyms and two major champions to best? Heck yeah.
Gen 3 and Gen 4 comes down to personal preference, and I just prefer 4. I loved Sinnoh, and I thought every aspect of it (starters, villain team, champion, rival) were superior to Ruby/Sapphire.
Gen 1 was the game-changer and great for nostalgia, but I feel every generation since has vastly improved on its formula.

I can't really say, I love them all!
But my favorites are Weavile and hydreigon, so 4 or 5.
Tie between first generation, second generation, third generation, fourth generation, fifth generation, sixth genera-er...I mean...just those fivealmost blew the secret that I'm from the future and currently playing generation 146.
I enjoyed playing them all when I first started playing them. I'd enjoy fifth generation most if I were to play all of the games at once though, just because it's the most new and updated, if the other generation get the same upgrades as fifth generation then I'd enjoy the other four equally with fifth generation.
So, I don't really have a "best", but fifth generation is maybe just slightly by 0.01% better for me.

Gen 3 and Gen 5. Gen 3 because they were the first games that I really had an idea of what I was doing (and because Hoenn and Colosseum/XD were great IMO), and Gen 5 because there have been so many great features introduced. I also enjoy Platinum (pretty much the only game from Gen 4 I really like), and Yellow will always be special to me since it was my first Pokemon game.

Maintenance Roundtable
When it comes to fire apparatus maintenance, you would be correct to think that equipment required to meet emissions standards was challenging. You would also be correct to think that aging apparatus are causing headaches, but one of the biggest issues may be surprising: Fire departments from coast to coast are having trouble finding qualified mechanics to work on apparatus.
There is a shortage of heavy-equipment mechanics and the few out there often migrate to the private sector for more pay and better benefits.
"Across the board, the number-one maintenance issue for us is having a qualified pool of maintenance mechanics," said Division Chief Craig Weeks, the head of Fire Fleet Services for the Los Angeles County, CA, Fire Department, who oversees a staff of about 50 mechanics.
Firehouse® Magazine interviewed fleet-maintenance personnel around the country to learn about the challenges departments face in keeping rigs on the road. In addition to Weeks, for this roundtable we talked to Mike Stankus, maintenance manager for King County, WA, Fire District 44; Tyler Chambers, lead mechanic for the City of Tulsa, OK, Equipment Management Department, working for the city's fire department; and Bill Miller, certified Emergency Vehicle Technician (EVT) for the Wellesley and Westwood fire departments in Massachusetts and president and treasurer of the New England Fire Apparatus Maintenance Association.
For the past 35 years, Stankus has been a mechanic and welder. In 2007, he was named the nation's EVT of the Year. These days, he is responsible for maintaining apparatus and equipment in eight stations, which includes 18 pumpers and tenders, two rescue units, three brush units, four cars, a boat, an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) and other equipment. Some of the biggest challenges he faces are presented by new apparatus that comply with 2010 federal emissions standards.
"The emissions systems are causing a lot of problems for a lot of departments," said Stankus, who is also chairman and education coordinator for Washington Fire Mechanics. Ironically, just as departments are becoming accustomed to working with emissions equipment and its maintenance, Stankus said he is hearing officials may retract the standards. "…It's kind of mind boggling."
"We went down that long road to compliance; now, how are we going to go backwards?" Stankus asked.
While he is generally an advocate of high tech for apparatus, when it is not working right, it can cause headaches. He has had a few issues with multiplex electrical systems on apparatus, but nothing too serious and the issues have been easily remedied. (In one case, a speedometer jumped to 90 mph while the vehicle was not moving.)
Sometimes, it just takes a little patience on the operator's part for the apparatus to catch up. "It's just like when you boot up a computer, you have to wait a minute," he said. "Apparatus today are filled with lots of computers and to start one and take off 'prematurely' can cause problems with shifting and with anti-lock braking systems."
Stankus said he is an advocate of standardizing fleets. "It's very important to me for service and for parts interchangeability," Stankus said. Regular, routine maintenance is also vital, he said, adding that his regimen includes full service every 250 hours or 3,000 miles, whichever comes first.
A tag line on Stankus' emails reads: "We might not be the pride of the fire service, but without us, the pride don't ride." And that sums up his philosophy on apparatus maintenance.
Weeks has been with the Los Angeles County Fire Department since 1994. He remembers the day when there were literally dozens of applicants for a half-dozen openings in fleet maintenance. Today, the department may not have more than a handful of applicants for a like number of openings.
"It takes quite a long time for us to promulgate a list of five or six qualified candidates," Weeks said. "…Nearly everywhere around here are help-wanted signs for technicians."
In his shop, there are 50 technicians and there often are needs for new technicians. That's why the department developed a relationship with the community college program to recruit technicians. He hopes to renew that program in 2013. He will need the help to keep the department's 1,700 pieces of rolling equipment maintained, including at least 600 primary apparatus.
"Everything that is one ton or less we contract out…but we still have a lot of work," Weeks said, noting that everything else is done in house.
Unlike some departments, Los Angeles County is not experiencing headaches with emissions systems and he can attribute it to a decision the department made that has paid off. "We opted for smaller-displacement engines with higher horsepower," Weeks said, explaining that the engines run faster and at higher temperatures, which makes for fewer regenerations and happier emissions systems. "We've had no major, complex problems."
Weeks is not a fan of multiplexing for apparatus and he avoids it whenever possible. Specifications for new apparatus specifically say no multiplex electrical systems, except where absolutely necessary for engine and transmission controls.
"We need to be able to diagnose and repair apparatus that may be three or four miles off the highway," Weeks said, noting that some wildland strike teams travel up to 500 miles, a long way from their home repair shop, to fight wildland fires.
With the ability to go out to bid for as many as 15 apparatus at a time, Weeks said he has not had problems with manufacturers balking at the no-multiplexing request. "We have a little more leverage than most," he said.
Another specification Weeks requires on apparatus is complete accessibility to all parts that may need serving or replacing. He does not want to spend a half-day in the shop taking off panels and components just to fix a minor issue. "If an item is not completely accessible, it doesn't belong on our trucks," he said.
Getting the right apparatus up front can save a lot of maintenance down the road, Weeks said. That is why he has been working on ways to reduce the amount of heat generated by apparatus, rather than worrying about heat rejection. He has noticed that cabs are getting bigger on apparatus with little or no room going to the occupants. Rather, it is going for bigger radiators and heat-mitigation systems.
"I am going about it a completely different way, trying to reduce heat," Weeks said. One way he has hit upon is an unconventional transmission specification which calls for a 10-speed automated transmission as opposed to a full automatic transmission, which generates heat that is cooled by the radiator system.
"They've been working great," Weeks said, noting that the transmissions are full controlled electronically so they operate much like a traditional automatic transmission for the user.
Weeks has found tremendous savings with tires too by using recapped tires for apparatus. In 2010, the department saved $400,000 in the tire budget alone. There was a time when retreaded tires were shunned by the fire service, but Weeks said his department uses Michelin tires exclusively and department officials went to the factory and learned that the same compounds used in new tires are used in recapping retreads.
"We use the casing up to four times before we discard them," Weeks said. "They're really good and unless you really look, you can't tell them from brand-new tires."
For Weeks, apparatus maintenance today is all about being resourceful and looking for ways to save money, but never compromising safety.
"To me, apparatus are not parade pieces, they're not showpieces," Weeks said. "Everything on an apparatus needs to serve a mission to the community."
Just about in the center of the country, Tyler Chambers is the civilian lead mechanic for the fire department's division of Tulsa's fleet service. He too has a challenging time finding top-flight EVTs. Moreover, city officials are not sold on the fact that it is necessary to have certified EVTs. "They think it's more of a voluntary kind of thing," Chambers said, adding that the fire department is all for having certified EVTs working on rigs.
When he comes up with qualified heavy-equipment mechanics, they are often stolen away by another department in the city or other agency. "Yes sir, it's a problem," Chambers said. In his shop of seven, just he and one other person are EVT certified.
"Trucks these days are so complex that sometimes when we get mechanics in here they don't have a clue how to work on a fire truck," Chambers said, noting that he is a strong advocate for EVT certification, something he had for decades, and preaches to its merits whenever he has a chance.
Even more of a challenge is high mileage being put on fire trucks in Tulsa.
"The major trouble we have is an increase in call volume," Chambers said. "The department has started to make medical calls (responding with a private ambulance company). That has doubled the miles on the trucks."
Chambers said the extra mileage is taking a toll on the apparatus with increased frequency of brake jobs and general wear and tear. To save money on brake jobs, Chambers said Tulsa is specifying trucks with electromagnetic brake retarders. "We've doubled the brake life on the trucks," he said.
Tulsa also bought several mini-squads to handle the increase in ambulance call volume, he said, noting that the small trucks carry a bit of water and 250-gpm pumps that give some firefighting capabilities as first-responder units. Finding a solution to resolving problems with engine performance has not been as easy, Chambers said.
"Firefighters count on apparatus to work," Chambers said. "They trust their lives, and the lives of people in the community, on them working as they should. We have an obligation to maintain that trust."
Up in New England, Bill Miller has some different challenges. Salt, used for melting ice and snow, eats up apparatus, as do the short runs his suburban Boston department experiences.
Miller works full time for the Wellesley, MA, Fire Department, as the sole mechanic, a position he has had about three years and has worked part time for the Westwood Fire Department for more than 25 years. During those decades as a mechanic, he has learned the best way to get good service out of apparatus is to buy the heaviest-duty truck possible from a quality vendor.
"I tell people to buy trucks with big motors, thick bodies and heavy duty and they'll last longer," Miller said, noting they won't be as difficult to maintain either. "I try to tell people that the $180,000, $190,000 trucks aren't going to hold up and they'll give you trouble over the years…The way we treat stuff in the fire service, it's not conducive to long life anyway."
Miller is a strong proponent of EVT-certified people working on apparatus. "We need to work closely with the chiefs to help them understand the importance of certified technicians," he said. Miller said he preaches safety and the need for certification in his capacity as the president of the 396-member New England Fire Apparatus Maintenance Association. The association hosts annual training in conjunction with the New England Fire Chiefs Association to make sure mechanics are up to speed on the latest information, techniques and equipment available.
Miller expressed concerns about the 2010 emission standards. In his community, a long run is five miles on a mutual aid call to another community, which does not give apparatus time to heat up and do the passive regeneration trucks do as they drive down the road. That means the apparatus with the latest emissions equipment in his fleet have to have active regeneration requiring them to be run at higher rpm on the front apron for 30 to 40 minutes.
"That doesn't make the neighbors too happy," Miller said, adding the placement of the apparatus is also critical because the exhaust temperatures can get up to 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit. "So, that means you have to put cones up around the exhaust for seven or eight feet around it or someone can get burned. And, if you stop in the middle of the regen, you have to come back and do it again, or go for a very long drive."
Then, the apparatus has to sit outside, for up to an hour to cool down before being housed and hooked back up to the station exhaust systems. Hooking up a station exhaust ventilation system to a hot truck can cause thousands of dollars in damage, Miller said. But, it is important to be done to the manufacturers' specifications to keep apparatus running properly and well maintained.
For Miller, maintenance begins when the apparatus is specified. He recommends departments select manufacturers based on their service systems and their local inventory of parts and their availability.
Apparatus maintenance for Miller comes down to "do the right thing." For instance, don't do a one-wheel brake job on an apparatus to save money," he said. Keep good equipment in good repair and it will perform as it should for decades, he said.
"Don't gamble with apparatus maintenance," Miller said. "Because when you gamble, and lose, it really hurts."

Purchase Reason
The art is nice but the colors were not as vibrant as I expected or have seen with this print before. I picked a natural wood frame and it was darker than I expected, a light color frame would have been a better choice on my part.
So I would not recommend it in the combination I chose.

The Clone Wars have engulfed the galaxy in chaos, and as the dreaded droid army of the Separatists wipes out everything in its path, the future of the Galactic Republic becomes increasingly uncertain.

Vertigo: 2005/06
Chicago United Center III
10 May 2005
Chicago United Center III
Another long day in the service of the Big Video Shoot. The day ran much as yesterday, spending time on camera and lighting rehearsals first with stand-ins, then with the band at soundcheck. Soundcheck was a little tense, to be honest, all feeling the pressure of this being the last chance to nail it. Plus its Bonos birthday and I am sure he would have preferred to be almost anywhere other than standing on stage all afternoon playing Zoo Station ten times. My gang of four image was deemed a success, but there had also been a request for some single large heads (one of each band member, Big Brother style) which I had made but just didnt work. This was the first thing we looked at when the band arrived, and now really feeling the pressure, I took it upon myself to make a new replacement video sequence before the end of soundcheck. When I think back to how tortuous a process this would have been in Zoo TV days when everything ran from 12-inch laser disk players which had to be shipped to Wisconsin to be mastered, its pretty jaw dropping to see what you can do with a G5 and a bit of attitude.
The show was, in short, a triumph. Knowing how much work they (and we) put into it, sometimes I almost hate this band for making it look so effortless. In truth, when all the elements come together, perhaps it is effortless for them. It was a great show and looked spectacular on the TV monitors so I have high hopes for the video. Man of the match, though, was Jeff, operator of the in-house LED advertising signs. After a couple of days of pain, he really took the ball and ran with it. We had made some video sequences to complement the LED circles of the Vertigo stage and despite the ancient in-house control gear he hit all his cues and made it happen. During Vertigo itself (which the band played twice for reasons yet to become apparent), the red vortex lines jetted round the whole building. It was pretty awesome for an effect which cost nothing but the sweat of a Belgian to produce.
After the show there were beers in catering and general backslapping, before Smasher (said Belgian), Bruce (lighting) and Allen (more lighting) took up an invitation to go back to the hotel bar for 'a few drinks for Bonos birthday'. Theres a restaurant at the Park Hyatt which doubles as a function room and having been there before, I led the way. I was expecting 'a few drinks' but I looked in through the door at what can only be described as a total scene. It was, in fact, the missing scene from the Tales of the Arabian Nights, with what appeared to be a harem of 'I Dream of Genie' look-alikes and belly dancers in a sea of spangles and chiffon. Women up on tables, dancers all over the show. The doorman was the genie of the lamp - though from the chin up he did bear something of a resemblance to one of our security chaps.
We waded in, then the joke became apparent. Once surrounded by these exotic veiled women, some of them began to look familiar too, till I realised this was our touring party in major fancy dress mode. There was shrieking and dancing till 4am, 5am. I was so beat I could hardly stand up, but it was great great fun.
