respirators and supplied air
This is all for information, it is not to be taken as expert advice.
I worked in several nuclear power plants and have used half, full face, negative pressure, positive pressure, including supplied air, scba, and battery operated respirators. I am just relating my experience, and am not in any way suggesting anyone should go by what I am putting out here. On occasin I get emails about the supplied air setup I have, so rather then answer each individual question, I will try to give you an overall view of respirators etc. I worked about 18 years in power plants, and each plant will put you through a training session, there all pretty much the same, but I stayed in the same one for 15 years, and I was taught how to operate a fit booth for various respirators, also issued respirators for different types of invironments. If anybody is still with me. When you buy a respirator from your body shop supplier, or wherever, remember these guys sell paint and some sell auto parts also. So pay attention to what type of resp. you are buying and it's intended purpose, you should read what the manufacture says on the respirator and the filters you get with it. Take the time and check it out, look at the expiration dates, these were put on there for a reason, very important. I'm only giving you basic information here. Take the respirator out of the package and put it on, cover up the filter inlet with the palm of your hand, and breathe in, it should suck the respirator tight to your face with no inleakage at all. If it leaks a little try a different size, get one that fits your face. This is what you call the seal. When we issued respirators at the power plant, sometimes on a daily basis, before you could even be issued one you had to have had some respirator training. If you didn't shave that morning, you knew better then to even ask, so clean shaven is the key, you might get a seal with an end of the day stubble on your face, but you could break that seal while you're working and not even know it. Excessive talking and squinting is one of the easiest way to break the seal and allow outside air into your respirator, so keep the talking and facial movement to aminimum. You see them on television painting with a respirator, these are usually down draft booths with excellent air flow, your hobby shop is a little different environment, usually a lot more fumes, and you can bet these are the top of the line respirators there using. Heres some on supplied air. There is a big difference in supplied air and scba (self contained breathing apparatus). The scba can be worn in an oxygen deficient atmosphere, supplied air should never be worn in this atmosphere Respirators, supplied air, scba all have protection factors. I'm not going into all of that. Supplied air can be used with a half or full face respirator or a hood. I use a sas system, and I don't care what system you buy, this one works good, but it's a few years old, there are other name brands out there, probably one as good as the other. I use the hood with my supplied air, for a couple of reasons, one is I have been in a full face respirator hooked up to supplyied air on many occasions, and i don't like to have my chin floating in my own sweat over a four hour period, I have worn all types of respirators. The paper hood is lighter, cooler on your face, don't have to shave, they are nice to use. You can talk and squint and you don't have to worry about breaking your seal. Use caution when placing your supplied air pump, remember it's sucking in the air that you will be breathing, like no cars running around it, mines in a back room in my house and I can tell what were having for supper. This is just a little basic overview, some of our body shop experts have put out some real good informatioin on respirators, it wouldn't hurt to look up some of there threads before you start painting or have a lot of rust and filler in the air. On my web site you will see the air pump for my supplied air system, we had environmental air samplers where i used to work, and we learned how to maintain and repair this same type of air pump, there heavy and can be moved to wherever you want to, I usually leave mine where it is, it is okay with up to 100' of hose. I've used it a lot, and never had a problem. If you buy a supplied air outfit with the hood, the hoods are made of a thicker type paper and are strong but light. They scratch easy on the face piece, so buy a bunch of extra films that stick over the face piece, then a hood will last quite a long time. I wear levis, a tee shirt and sweatshirt and buy the cheaper paper suits at building supply places or your body shop place, vinyl or rubber gloves taped to the paper suit with the hood just tucked inside the paper suit and zipped up tight. Take care of your respirators, and supplied air and lines and pump, these are the best tools you will ever buy for this kind of work, keep them boxed or wrapped up, but keep them clean. Hope some of this will help somebody, it's a little difficult to write up with just the highlights, there is so much information out there on this.

You really scared me with the neatness until I saw the pile on the toolbox.
This was an excellant writeup - with most of the things you mentioned in my list of items that I will be doing with my supplied air setup. I have yet to use it but taking inside the house air hadn't been considered - but now will have a fitting in the basement (probably) with the pump then connected to it for clean air. Also prefer the hood as I wear glasses and had totally fogged a pair years ago with a 1/2 face respirator (before Isos) - which is another reason for the hood. Dave

oldred, you are right on the money about the parts counter person, they are there to sell paint and parts etc.
Some of them are knowledgeable about respirators, but to a limited extent. I'm not going to point fingers at them, there not expected to know that much about them, but, it's up to the person buying and using the respirator. There should be a product information sheet that goes with any respiratory equipment that is sold over the counter, if it isn't with it, ask the counter person to get his book out and print one up. Staying informed on this is up to the individual using it. Your point about the life span of the filter cartridges, that was good. Rob |
For the very little painting I've done, I use this system:
http://www.autobodystore.com/neoterik.htm with the full nylon hood. Never thought about setting the pump in the house; that would make sure of getting good, cool air. Is there a problem with using a nylon hood instead of a paper one? I didn't see any paper hoods when I got the paper suit. An earlier discussion on here linked to a thread on chevelles.com which led me to buy that supplied air system before using 2k paints. The link no longer works as it was posted, so here's an updated one: http://www.chevelles.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10397 Isocyanates are pretty scary. |
Grouch, I would think the nylon hood would be just as good as the paper if it's got a tight nit to it.
When you're using it can you smell any paint fumes. Rob There are questions to be answered, and answers to be questioned" Chassis, Body Jig, Trunk Pan Pics. http://webpages.charter.net/2manitowoc Paint booth, Ventilation, etc. http://www.2manitowoc.com/paintroom.html |
I just thought there might be a problem with residue, or something, with the nylon and that was why you were talking about a paper hood. The slightly positive pressure inside the hood would seem to force the vapors away. The paper suit is understandable because there is no positive pressure inside your clothes, so you need to be able to get that stuff away from you right after spraying. (Better to throw away a paper suit than a pair of jeans). Since it doesn't make sense to wear the hood around the fumes except when the air is being supplied, it seems reasonable that it would not get contaminated like clothing would. However, I don't have any experience having to work around such fumes, so what seems reasonable to me could easily get me a trip to the emergency room, in that area. It's one of the reasons I dig around in these forums. |
Grouch, you might want to call the manufacter, or if you have the paper work with it, they might mention something about it.

Hi, I worked as a nuclear inspector in Naval nuclear propulsion for 25 years. While performing inspections in certain areas, I wore anti contamination suits that had an air-fed hood for breathing air. The Navy trained us annually for wearing half face, full face and air-fed hoods. Also prior to starting any new work that required the the use of an air-fed hood, we were trained on donning and removal of our air-fed hood and anti-contamination clothing. We were then tested for our response in an emergency loss of air. We had seconds to determine that there was a loss of breathing air and remove the air-fed hood. All of this training emphasizing hood removal in an emergency was the result of fatalities caused by workers not realizing that they had lost there air supply or were unable to remove there air-fed hood when they had a loss of air. Another thing to think about is how much oil and water vapor is your compressor putting in your breathing air. Most compressors use oil in the pump which is how the oil gets into the breathing air and I was also told that it can increase the CO2 levels in the air. When you put a nylon air-fed hood over your head and strap it to you so it does not flop around, your life depends on that air supply. Be safe!

Ken, thanks for helping this thread out, good thing you pointed out.
You are talking about a air supply from a large compressor, thats what we had, we would monitor our air supply with tests, for co2, oil, etc, just before we hooked them up to somebody, but the units they sell for home use are oilless pumps, Another thing here, I posted on some forum, that if your painting you should have a runner outside the booth, he can keep an eye on the guy in the supplied air, I even put a window in my booth, for the outside guy to check on me. This runner serves another purpose, he can mix your paint, fill your paint cup, keeps you from dragging your supplied air hose out of the booth, less dirt and dust gets in the booth.

While we are covering the bases here, I think it is a good idea to have respiratory protection from the time you first open the can. I personally use a charcoal respirator to do this (less cumbersome when mixing paint) and then switch to a supplied air system when spraying. I wear a Tyvek suit and nitrile gloves from the time I open the can as well.
The bottom line is repeated exposures, however slight, can lead to severe sensitivity issues including chemical asthma. Everyone is different and there is no telling when your body will cross that threshold. Also, in my humble opinion, I don't consider any paint safe to spray without protection, whether it is a single stage enamel, waterbased paint or of course, iso contaning paints. I'm not saying that I am an expert by any means but I have some experience as I have worn various SCBA's, I am chairman of the Health and Safety Committee for my fire dept, I am an RN and have worked with an Occupational Pulmonologist. I would rather skimp on the quality of my spray equipment (which I did at first) than paint without the appropriate respiratory protection. |
I'm glad you said that. I sprayed some of that stinky epoxy primer today and felt like an idiot while mixing it. I really hate the smell of that stuff, so there I was, outside in my moon suit, gloves and hood with the air supply hose trailing behind me, stirring about a cup of paint while the little air supply compressor whirred like a vacuum cleaner. Better to feel silly than sick, though. |

"I have made this recipe many times, but instead of the cream of mushroom soup, I use cream of mushroom and garlic soup and beef broth instead of water. It gives it a better flavor."
"My whole family loves this recipe. I have made it numerous times and it is always good."
"I loved it, husband did not care for the onion flavor. I don't think it was that strong but the next time I make it will probably only use 1/2 pkg of onion soup mix."
"When shopping before making this meal, we accidentally brought home a can of condensed beef vegetable soup. We used it in place of the cream of mushroom and it was delicious! We'll have to make it again with the mushroom soup."

The Miners Foundry Cultural Center and As the Crow Flies Presents the second of seven Summer Daze Concerts at 7 p.m. Thursday (July 25) with Division Threshold, Space Rabies, Downshift and acoustic opener Iona Swift.
The Summer Daze Concert Series kicked off last week as an all-ages community dance event that showcased a vast array of musical talent from all across Northern California with an emphasis on local musicians and bands that spanned generations and genres. The event also featured art, food and a full no-host bar.
"Every show has its own personality. We want the series to express the gamut of Nevada County's musical spectrum, while giving exposure to acts that don't frequent the club circuit here in town," said Chad Conner Crow of As the Crow Flies Presents. "Last week was soul groove. This week is metal and space rock. Next week is myth folk and druid rock."
Headlining the night is the rock band Division Threshold, a three piece progressive/grunge power trio from Nevada City. The band has embarked on two west coast tours and, in the summer of 2012, won the Nevada County Battle of the Bands Competition put on by the Center for the Arts. The singer/songwriter/guitarist of the group, Dylan Rodrigue, has played in a number of local bands including The Shreds, Of Wheel and Water and Seamsplit as well as the L.A. prog/folk band Aquadeer. Bassist John Kinsman and drummer, Jamison Simmons are well renowned for their hard-hitting rock in jazz/punk group The Devils Train.
Space Rabies, a local experimental rock group, looks to such influential, genre bending groups such as The Flaming Lips, Ween, Tool, Butthole Surfers and DEVO for inspiration.
Downshift's odd musical tastes range from outlaw country all the way to death metal and everything in between. Downshift's music tends to appease all types of musical pallets. They've shared the stage with great bands like Lonely Kings and Floater and were finalists in the Nevada County's Center for the Arts 2012 Battle of the Bands. With great grooves, smooth lyrics and tasty licks, Downshift's got a sound that everyone can enjoy.
Rounding out the bill is acoustic opener Iona Swift. A native of Nevada County, Iona's sound is influenced by '50s sweetheart doo-wop.
Sixties folk, modern day singer-songwriter and indie artists and the many talented local musicians she grew up hearing.
"The show's production value is astounding," said Crow. "Combining a great sound system with a state-of-the-art light show and the new wood flooring on the dance floor, the Miners Foundry is an awesome venue to see your favorite acts and an excellent way to be introduced to something new."
Future shows will include local acts such as The Devils Train, Mount Whateverest, Aequorea, Panther and Bear Fight and many more.
Tickets for Thursday's show are $10 at the door. It is an all-ages concert. For information, go to http://minersfoundry.org or http://facebook.com/asthecrowfliespresents.

This rug is thick, and the colors matched exactly the image on my monitor. The red is clear though not bright and makes a nice complement to our furnishings. I would recommend this rug to a friend.
THIS rug is absolutely one of the best purchases I have ever made at Overstock!! It is from a very prestigious line known for their quality rugs. There is lots of attention to detail as well as great color contrast . Its pile is plush and dense and there is no need for a rug pad. It weighs over 126 lbs., and I was able to unfold it and place in my living room by myself. It is perfect with my transitional decor and I am very happy with my purchase! It looks just as good and even better than some similar rugs I have seen for considerably more money. One cannot go wrong with this rug. Thanks, O!!
I love love this rug. I shopped around and this was exactly what I wanted and it was at 1/4 the price. It is very well made and is as represented on my computer only a little lighter. It is just as described. The color is more Ivory and red and not so gold as it appears on screen.
This rug is beautiful, thick and soft on feet. My only complaint is that small pieces of yarn are popping up, but for the price I paid I am very pleased.
I would recommend this rug anyone! It came sooner than expected and adds a warmth to my family room. One question, how long before it stops shedding. I've vacuumed it a few times but it's still peeling.
I read all the reviews before purchasing the rug as I always find them helpful. I found the majority of descriptions to be very accurate. It is a gorgeous rug with warm, rich colors. The red is a not a maroon, but more of a brick red and the main color a cream with accents of green and gold. It is thick and cushy when walking on it, I have no rug pad underneath and it is fine. Using one would probably make it really plush. It looks expensive for the great price. I purchased a 9x12 and the size is perfect. It was delivered super fast. It does shed a lot. I have wood floors and am constantly vacuuming around. My concern is that with the shedding there are small gaps starting to form around the edges which look like little holes. Not bad yet, but make become worse over time so I hope it doesn't continue. Other than this, I am very happy with the purchase. Like others wrote, I searched major stores and this is a beautiful rug for the price!
I just wish I had ordered in the next larger size. The measurements are maybe a bit short, and not over. In the past the rugs I have purchased were slightly larger than the stated measurements, This rug is not. However, I am delighted with the pile, color and overall quality of this rug. Great job Overstock!
I had been shopping for a 9 x 12 rug for several months and just couldn't find the "red" that I wanted for my hardwood floor in my family room. I did not want a shade of burgundy. The rug arrived last night and when the wrapping was removed, I knew immediately even before putting it down that this was exactly what I wanted for my room. The rug is plush, very thick and a quality product! Most rugs in my local Macy's and specialty rug shops were 3 - 4 times the price so I think I got a great deal.
it is a good rug! We all like it. it fits our dinning room very well.
We got the 9x12 rug for the dining room. It is the perfect size for our 6 seat table so that the chairs, once pushed back, still stay on the carpet. The colors are beautiful; the red is more like a coral color.

About Keith Tucker
Twenty years of living and creating art in Hawaii has driven me to reflect on 'Polynesian Pop Culture', also known as 'Tiki Culture', that first came to the USA in the 1930's, and is a unique offshoot inspired in part by the 'Tiki Carvings' of the South Sea Islands.
I've also worked more than twenty years as a professional animation and Live action storyboard artist as well as an Illustrator, who also draws comic books . My animation career found me working for the major studios like Steven Spielgberg's Amblin Entertainment, Disney, Warner Brothers, Marvel, Universal, Hana Barbera, Filmation and a long list of others, drawing characters like Pinky and the Brain, X-men,Spiderman, Star Trek, Robo cop,Conan,He-Man, Shera, Transformers, Gi.

Why you can't ignore the Open Compute Project any longer October 14, 2014 11:05 PM | Chris Yetman, Vantage Data Centers If you're in the data-center business, you've probably been following the Open Compute Project (OCP). And if you haven't, you should. OCP is Facebook's response to dealing with a server count that likely exceeds a million. Their innovations around scale and serviceability are simply too compelling to ignore.
5 essential steps for maximizing power usage in that data center of yours July 8, 2014 10:00 PM | Chris Yetman, Vantage Data Centers Guest Questions worth pondering: Why are we afraid to allow equipment to fail? And why are we working so hard to avoid breaking a server? Too often, data center operators are fearful and needlessly cautious when it comes to hardware.

My first column: Excitement and dread comes with new seasons and assignmentsPosted Wednesday, August 8, 2012, at 12:32 AM
Note: This column will appear here and in the Southeast Missourian newspaper each Wednesday. While the Missourian coverage area includes only a portion of the schools included on semoball, I hope to be able to travel to more events throughout the year and write about things people from all over the region can enjoy.
I should've been thinking about the upcoming year of high school sports. I should've been thinking about the games of the year, the matchups I can't wait to watch, the players who will be missed and the players who have improved the most in the months since I last watched them play. That's definitely what I, professional sports journalist, should have been thinking about when high school athletes and coaches started practicing for fall sports Monday morning. But all I could think about was the pain in my side caused by circuit training, the horrific shrill of the whistle telling me it was time to run another line drill and that feeling of not being able to breathe in the stifling heat of a small gym with no air conditioning. It's been years since I've experienced any of those things, but just like back when I was the one walking into the gym, I felt a mixture of dread and excitement for the players who walked into the first day of practice Monday. I don't know if that feeling will go away one fall, but I think I'll always remember it. It's not often you get to dread something you're excited about or be excited about something you dread, but I think that's usually the case with preseason practices full of extra running and endless high hopes for a successful season, however that may be defined by an individual or team. I feel a lot of that excitement and a little of that dread as I write this first of what will be a weekly column published here. I'm excited to get to show you a little more of what I see each week and to tell you more about the people than the players and more about the men and women than the coaches. This comes with some dread only because it goes against my years of regimented training designed to allow me to leave myself -- and my thoughts -- out of the story and because there probably always will be someone who doesn't like what I say. For example, whenever I praise an individual player, which I sometimes will do here, I almost always get some variation of the following five responses. The same ones apply to both girls and boys, but let's just say for now that I write somewhere that I'm impressed by a boys basketball player. This is what I hear: 1. Sure he is good, but what about his teammates? Why do you personally hate every other member of the team and refuse to acknowledge that they also are awesome? Did you even watch the game or just the person scoring? 2. Did you know he secretly was a terrible person? Like, really terrible and cocky and just all kinds of horrible? He had detention just last week. You should personally hate him instead of praising him. 3. He's not good at all. You know who's good? This other player. Actually, your compliment of him is directly disrespectful to the other player, whom you obviously personally hate. 4. Why do you only care about boys basketball? If you didn't personally hate every other sport and the athletes that participate in them, you would know about some other great athletes. 5. Reserved for when I compliment a Notre Dame player (the horror, I know): Why do you always write about Notre Dame? What is your obsession with them, and why do you personally hate every other school? Also, life's not fair and neither is Notre Dame's existence. Of course the number of people who actually have these reactions is small, and I get far more amused than bothered by the few that do share those opinions. Plus I hope I don't need to write that I don't personally hate anyone I do or do not write about. My promise to you is to write the things I see that usually wouldn't make a story about the game and to write some things I think that I usually wouldn't share. I'm going to get out to as many events as I can featuring as many sports as I can throughout the course of the year and tell you about the people and things I find interesting. Hopefully you'll find some of them interesting as well. What I find will be published each Wednesday in the Southeast Missourian and on my easy-to-find blog on semoball.com. You can leave me your comments and questions there, and I will be able to respond or you can reach me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Glad to hear that! Thanks.Why did you have to mention Notre Dame in this article? What is your obsession with them and hatred for every other school? (This is going to be fun). -- Posted by sideline starter on Wed, Aug 8, 2012, at 11:33 AM
Rachel Crader
You forgot to point out that it's a personal hatred, not just some run-of-the-mill sports hate. It's personal. :)
Thanks for reading! Yeah! Why even mention No.... I can't even type their name! Ha! Crader....I will greatly anticipate each week's article. -- Posted by Rocket689 on Wed, Aug 8, 2012, at 11:37 AM

Thanks, Rocket. Hope I can make it worth your time each week.This article brings back such great memories.

"Not what I was expecting, but it was good"
When I first saw the title of this book, I assumed it was going to be funny or quirky. However, this book was more on the serious side. I still enjoyed it a lot! This is more of a coming of age novel than a humorous book. I love the way that they portrayed his sister's Autism and how realistic they were with the way it was viewed in that time period.
Reading this book has peeked my interest in the history of Alcatraz. Even though I knew that kids lived on the island, I never thought about their every day lives there.
The narrator is great! He brings the characters to life with the voices he uses. I definitely recommend this book.
"Serious book with a different point of view"
This book was recommended to me by my Library Materials professor. She warned the class that it was hard to handle, but very good. It was a good book, but not as good as she made it seem.
The thing I liked about this book was the point of view. To be able to hear the thoughts of an abducted child is interesting. It changd my view of how I view kidnapping situations. The fear and anger that the child felt was well portrayed in the book.
I wouldn't recommend this book to children, although my teacher said it was children's literature, unless the child was a mature, older student who can handle dark, realistic stories.

dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study is to establish guidelines for the utilization of narratives in popular literature in nursing education in order to facilitate reflective thinking with nursing students. The purpose of nursing education is to equip the prospective nursing practitioner to be able to function independently and effectively in a multicultural, technological and scientific nursing practice where caring is important. Quality nursing care demands critical analytical thinking (cognitive skills) and moral values (affective skills) of the nursing practitioner. This study investigates firstly the "what" of reflective thinking and concludes that reflection accommodates both thinking skills and values that should be facilitated at the prospective nursing practitioner. The facilitation of reflective thinking is demanding as it is a complex cognitive and affective thinking skill. The research focuses secondly on the way in which the narrative in popular literature can be applied to facilitate reflective thinking in nursing education. According to the constructivist learning approach meaningful learning and reflective thinking occur when coupled to previous knowledge and experience. The nursing student as adult learner has at his/her disposal certain advance knowledge and previous experience. Narratives and popular literature form part of the adult learner's advance knowledge and previous experience. The research design is a philosophical inquiry in which the following research strategies are used namely philosophical analysis as well as qualitative, exploratory, descriptive and contextual strategies. In order to meet the purpose of the research, four goals were set and which were executed in four phases. At first the term reflective thinking was subjected to the process of concept analysis in order to clarify it's specific meaning (connotations and denotations). A theoretical definition of reflective thinking was formulated for the study from the connotations whereas denotations were used as the basis of learning outcomes for the Programme of Euthanasia as an Ethical Issue in Nursing Education (the Programme). | en_US |

Telangana Rashtra Samiti president K. Chandrasekhar Rao has called a bandh in Telangana for December 5 and rallies and demonstrations for December 4 to oppose the reported move to create 'Rayala-Telangana.'
Senior BJP leader M. Venkaiah Naidu has termed the move a ploy for the government to avoid tabling the Telangana Bill in the Parliament.
At a press conference, Mr. Naidu wondered whether Rayala-Telangana was being mooted to please All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul Muslimeen leader Asaddudin Owaisi, a Congress ally, who had proposed it. Observing that everything had become a "tamasha" for the Congress, he wanted the party to convince its own leaders first of the need for the plan.
He said the Congress had not put forth the proposal before the BJP so far and his party would not change its stand favouring Telangana with 10 districts.
Mr. Rao said the TRS would not accept anything short of Telangana with 10 districts and Hyderabad as capital. "If Rayala-Telangana is formed, all illegal irrigation projects in Rayalaseema will be legitimised," he said.
Keywords: Telangana statehood, Telangaaa crisis, Rayala-Telangana proposal, TRB bandh call, UPA government, GoM on Telangana

Kindle's $50 Oprah discount: Price $309, in effect
October 24, 2008 | 5:05 pm
By a TeleBlog Contributor
Oprah not only endorsed the Kindle, as expected, but also announced a discount offer allowing for $50 off the usual price of $359. The magic promo code, good until November 1, is OPRAHWINFREY. There'll also be a discount on the novel The Story of Edgar Sawtelle.
Suggestion, if your heart is set on a K machine and you want to help us: Try ordering through TeleRead (current link). One of the last ordering screens, associated with Order Summary, will ask: "Have any gift cards, gift certificates or promotional claim codes?" Key in OPRAHWINFREY.
Reminder: We continue to hope that Amazon will use a more open approach and, for example, let current or future Kindles read ePub natively.
If anyone missed the show and wants to know what went down, I have a write-up:
http://mikecane2008.wordpress.com/2008/10/24/debrief-oprah-and-the-abominable-kindle/ -
I may not be Oprah, but I recently put up a product review of the Kindle on YouTube. Interested buyers can see it in the short video and listen to my comments about how it works and what it offers as digital content device.

India's largest two-wheeler manufacturer Hero MotoCorp plans to launch 8-10 new products and refreshes this financial year (FY13). It has already launched the Ignitor motorcycle and Maestro scooter this year. Moneycontrol Bureau India's largest two-wheeler manufacturer Hero MotoCorp plans to launch 8-10 new products and refreshes this financial year (FY13). It has already launched the Ignitor motorcycle and Maestro scooter this year. The company, which also makes the Splendor and Passion motorcycles and Pleasure scooter, ended its partnership with Japan's Honda in 2010. Hero is now working on new model built completely by itself and Hero designed products are likely to enter the market by the end of March, the company says. Hero MotoCorp's managing director Pawan Munjal on Thursday said the company has signed an agreement with a European design and technology partner. Since its break up with Honda, it has already signed a pact with US-based super bike maker Erik Buell Racing and a research deal with Austrian engine maker AVL. Two-wheeler makers in India, except Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India, have seen sluggish sales in the past few months due to the overall slowdown in the economy. Hero MotoCorp's sales in August slipped 12% to 4,43,801 units. The company said it has corrected production volumes due to the retail slowdown. However, the company is very optimistic of the upcoming festive season and will decide on annual volume target post Diwali. Honda Motorcycle and Scooter has become very aggressive in the domestic market and is taking its erstwhile partner Hero head on with its Dream Yuga motorcycle. Honda is already a market leader in scooters. Hero MotoCorp, meanwhile, is looking at overseas markets to push its growth ambitions. It has already entered Sri Lanka and plans to begin motorcycle sales to Guatemala and Nigeria by 2012-end. India's second largest motorcycle maker, Bajaj Auto , is very strong in Africa, particularly with its entry-level bike Boxer. Hero shares closed down 1% at Rs 1,790 on NSE on Thursday. Hero Motocorp stock price On April 21, 2015, Hero Motocorp closed at Rs 2329.45, up Rs 14.75, or 0.64 percent. The 52-week high of the share was Rs 3271.80 and the 52-week low was Rs 2110.00. The company's trailing 12-month (TTM) EPS was at Rs 123.37 per share as per the quarter ended December 2014. The stock's price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio was 18.88. The latest book value of the company is Rs 280.43 per share. At current value, the price-to-book value of the company is 8.31.

Onward and upward ...
First of all, a belated Happy New Year to everyone!
I see by my last post that it is exactly a month since I last blogged. Suffice it to say a lot has been happening behind the scenes here, not least my daughter falling seriously ill in Mexico just before Christmas. She is now back home recovering and I am hopefully back on track with studio work. It was a rocky end to 2013.
I'm still waiting for the scan to come back from my Dr Johnson's House collage, so that I will next week.
Currently on the table is a design for a bookmark for Keats House which, if I do say so myself, is looking very good. Based on the Ode to a Nightingale and very summery. I am just putting a few finishing touches to it though I did declare it finished on my facebook page (Amanda White Art)
https://www.facebook.com/AmandaWhiteNaiveArt?skip_nax_wizard=true last night. Above is a photo I took when it was still in the process of coming together.
And here's a detail I snapped yesterday:
The Ode to a Nightingale is my favourite Keats poem and one I am happy I was forced to have to commit to memory while at school. As you see I managed to get the "draught of vintage" into the picture.
Once the weather is more favourable I will be able to take a better photo. In the meantime I have a couple of doll-portraits coming up and a private commission involving a castle tower...
Like I said, onwards and upwards!

Creepy. didn't need to see clowns beating each other up this morning hahaha. glad it isn't some random animated video though.
and I've said this before and I'll say it again. if you want to listen to smash, guess what? you can go listen to smash!
I like that they keep trying new things, keeps it exciting!
I'm not going to lie, not how I expected that to sound. Which I like. Got some classic Offspring elements, but also is a little different, a little unique. Been growing on me the more I listen to it...
Nope but I was late to party so assumed it was already filled. Oh well!
So. Did you get picked?
screw it so did I. Mind you I'm in the middle of packing for a move but let us see what happens haha.
Oh damn. I was debating this show (because I'll be in process of selling crap and moving) but smash show? I'm in!
edit: of course now my seats are going to be awful but whatever!

haha agreed but Maybe noodles will tell him
happy birthday, greg k!
hmm... this should be a good one. Sadly not sure I can afford it haha.
I don't know I think it was a very underrated album there are a lot of solid songs on there. Being as short as it was probably didn't help anything though.
so how was it?
I couldn't go, family obligations instead sadly. I was literally on other side of hill, could hear them playing in the back yard.
you know, so do I but I'd be ok with it not being Mota and not hearing All I Want at every show. (I guess I'm beating a dead horse with the "more variety please" type comments though)
edit: nevermind
stupid conflicts what are odds that this far in advance I'd know I'm busy on the 21st?
Hmm might have to find a way to go to this one... (that weekend I was not supposed to be in the LA area...)
was it a fun time? I was sad I missed out on this one.
I figure keep answers short and reasonable? 2/3/5 songs tops?
Off top of my head:
1. Blackball
2. Meaning of Life
3. Get it Right...
Lame cover but yes I have Kill The President. I also remember those times where certain members thought we should have a "test" to see if you were a big enough "fan" to be allowed to join. Man...
I was half asleep on an airplane earlier this week and briefly wasn't sure if I was listening to the airline audio or my phone (which I had turned off for takeoff naturally). But sure enough, new...
As a Ph.D. candidate this amused me.
Impressive after all this time to jump back into research and get a first authorship publication,...

Valstar Side Effects Center
Medical Editor: John P. Cunha, DO, FACOEP
Valstar (valrubicin) is used to treat bladder cancer. It is a cancer (antineoplastic) medication. Common side effects include bladder irritation, with symptoms such as pain, spasm, and frequent urge to urinate. This medication usually will cause urine to turn a reddish color. This is a normal, harmless effect of the drug and should not be mistaken for blood in the urine.

Tell your doctor all medications and supplements you use. Valstar is not recommended for use during pregnancy. It may harm a fetus. If you become pregnant or think you may be pregnant, tell your doctor. Both males and females using this drug should use birth control (e.g., birth control pills, condoms) during treatment. Consult your doctor to discuss birth control. It is unknown if this drug passes into breast milk. Because of the possible risk to the infant, breastfeeding while using this drug is not recommended.

TABLE 1 displays the frequency of the local adverse experiences at baseline and during treatment among 170 patients who received 800 mg doses of VALSTAR®(valrubicin) Sterile Solution for Intravesical Instillation in a multiple-cycle treatment regimen. Only 7 of 143 patients who were scheduled to receive six doses failed to receive all of the planned doses because of the occurrence of local bladder symptoms.

I am going to pick two or three of following countries for tour later this year: UK, Switzerland, Poland, Greece, Hungary and Czech. I am confusing which ones should pick. Any ideas? Thanks.
Countries more attractive for tourhhx 09-20-2002, 04:38 PM I am going to pick two or three of following countries for tour later this year: UK, Switzerland, Poland, Greece, Hungary and Czech. I am confusing which ones should pick. Any ideas? Thanks. Wojtek 09-20-2002, 04:45 PM POLAND of course :D :D Switzerland , UK , France :cool: Nikola 09-20-2002, 05:20 PM Czech for sure Daniel 09-20-2002, 06:21 PM Switzerland :) ;) :) Hania 09-20-2002, 07:45 PM Seriously, don't go to the U.k! harry_potter 09-21-2002, 12:08 AM Switzerland :D Ace Tracker 09-21-2002, 01:51 AM Prague and Budapest are among the most beautiful European cities, but the Czech countryside is prettier than the Hungarian one...Greece would be a nice and sunny change of weather and views...and if you have time, go to Turkey, such a wonderful country and still relatively off the European beaten path... harry_potter 09-21-2002, 02:14 AM whoops! ignore my switzerland suggestion. i didn't read ur topic carefully and i thought that u were going to suggest to the ATP where to hold another tournament ;) so now i'll suggest the UK (ok, add switzerland too). the other countries are also a worthwhile visit. but as ur chinese, u may encounter racism especially in the rural areas, becuz the people have probably never seen asians and are just ignorant. it happened to me in hungary when i went last year. a group of school kids were shouting "Yellow, yellow!" at me and my family (i said "Fuck" at them but they're so stupid, they couldn't understand) the uk and switzerland are better becuz they see many chinese/asian people, so most will not stare at u. but when i went to portsmouth in uk this year there were kids making "Chinese" eyes (u know, they pull their eyes by the sides, that kind) at us. i really wanted to hit them. i can't believe their parents don't educate them better. as they were only around 6 or 7 years old, i didn't hit them or swear at them, but they'd better be careful. China is a world power now, and we will only grow stonger. :fiery: :fiery: beware of the wrath of the dragon :fiery: Layla 09-21-2002, 11:44 AM I'd definitely go for the UK. It's gorgeous. Second choice would be Greece, although I've never been there. Especially if you're going in late autumn, early winter. Those central European countries can be pretty bleak at that time of the year, although Prague is always worth checking out. It is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. Ada Monroe 09-24-2002, 12:57 PM Brazil, Cuba!! I love the Americas :hearts: Or are you only touring Europe? :confused: |
