Steve White explains why firefighters can't take a small vehicle approach to large vehicle stabilization and examines common cribbing and methods of stabilization. Sponsored by Holmatro.
[BLANK_AUDIO] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] Welcome to Fire Engineering's Training Minutes. I'm Steve White, Battalion Chief, Fishers Fire Department. In this segment we're gonna talk about stabilizing heavy trucks. The one thing we really wanna emphasize throughout this whole program is that you can't take a small vehicle approach to a big truck rescue. We're dealing with vehicles that are taller. Vehicles and their loads that are heavier. And to be able to accomplish this, we have to have good, solid stabilization. We're not capturing the weight of a car. We're gonna start off by talking about four by four cribbing. Four by four cribbing is the most common used cribbing in the fire service. Now technically we know that it's really three and a half by three and a half. For this segment we're gonna call it a four by four. Another key component is the length of the cribbing. We're gonna be dealing with 24 inch long cribbing. When we build our box cribs theres are two critical factors that we want to make sure that we're getting correct. And that is how much weight this crib box can support. And how high we can safely and effectively build this box crib. When we build the box crib we want to ensure that we have four inches of overhang everywhere theres a point of contact. Anything greater than that makes the box unsafe. To be able to figure how much weight we can [UNKNOWN]. We're gonna talk about points of contact, and a point of contact is every the curbing comes across the top of another piece of curbing. Each point of contact can support or capture 6000 pounds. So when we have four points of contact, 6000 pounds times four, is 24,000 pounds. So, as long as the entire load is resting across all four points, we can capture 24,000 pounds of weight. When it comes to height, there's two factors we have to understand. If we capture all four points, okay? We can go up to. 48 inches tall. And we figure that because we're looking at 16 inches from outside to outside, times three, is how we come up with 48. So it's not the dimension or the length of the 24 inches, it's the 16 inches. From where our points of contacts are. So, 16 times three is 48. Four points of contact. We can build this box 48 inches tall. Now we know, in some situations, based on the positions of the vehicles, we may not be able to capture all four points. We maybe only able to capture. Just two points so that takes our weight to six and six, 12,000 pounds but it's gonna have an impact on our height. When dealing with the same 16 inches, it's 16 times one and a half. That comes to 24 inches. So when you're only capturing two points of contact. We can go up to 24 inches and no more, because then when we build it beyond the safety factor, then it can sway and is no longer safe. To capture the points of contacts, it's effective to use. Wedges in various positions. And again, the key point is, we wanna make sure where we capture the load. We wanna distribute it down, and keep our system in line, at all times. Here we're gonna build the box crib, starting with a good stable base. Now we understand that, normally there would be a trailer in the way. We've removed the trailer, so that we can demonstrate clearly. What our task is. Understand too that we have to do a size up to our load and understand what can impact at the end where we go to tighten the system up with our wedges. It could be various bolts, mudflaps, and hoses and other items that are in the way. If we can move the hoses out of the way without cutting, that would be perfect. But any aluminum or metal objects are in the way, we can simply cut off with cutters, chisels or sawzalls so that we can gain good positive contact. Here with this box crib, we're capturing two points of contact. So we're stabilizing 12,000 pounds. At the back points of contact. Using the wedges we're able to tighten that box core back. Now we have an effective means of stabilization for the back of this frame rail. Now we know that in every rescue situation we're not always going to have the perfect scenario. Sometimes it's safer to build the box tower outside of an area and slide it in. Working as a team, using four by fours to push it, we can get it in place safely and effectively. When we tighten it we want to double check because typically our vision is gonna be the front. In order to make sure that we are maintaining that four inches of overhang correctly and keeping all of our points of contact in line. It's critical that we check the two points of contact that we're capturing in the box. So when we slide the box, it doesn't get out of frame. Here we're dealing with an air-ride cab. On size up, it's easy to identify by looking at the back of the cab. Here, we have two cushions. That helps the cab rest. The problem is it makes the cab very unstable during extra casing operations. So, what we want to do is capture the space between the cab and the frame rail, stabilize it so that now, the cab is resting on our cribbing. And not the unstable air ride cushions. [BLANK_AUDIO] As another alternative for stabilizing the air ride cab. We're gonna use side buttress stabilization, also known as crutches. This is an option for stabilizing, if you have the ability to, otherwise, you can simply just use the cribbing and wedges that we just covered. One thing that we wanna stress. Is that we are not supporting the load of the entire tractor. We are just simply stabilizing the aluminum cab for movement, taking it off the air cushions and putting it on our system that doesn't move during extrication operations and patient removal. During this segment of the stabilization, what we're going to do is stabilize the large vehicle on top of a smaller vehicle. It's critical to point out that we have the car stabilized, [INAUDIBLE] it always has to stabilize from the ground up, having a good base, as well as chalking the tires of the truck. In this scenario, what we're gonna use is side buttress stabilization devices in two places to be able to stabilize the load. [FOOTSTEPS] The side buttress stabilization system that we're using is the holmatro power strut. It's a combination of making it a mechanical [UNKNOWN] after we put it in place with a hydraulic pump. A pump in this scenario is a manual pump. A critical factor is where the strut makes contact. Is at the frame rail on both sets of struts. [SOUND] We're simply stabilizing the vehicle. In this scenario we do not have the intent of lifting the vehicle. [SOUND] Once the strut's in place, we're gonna go ahead and back it up. And that makes a mechanical strut. Now, we're gonna put the drivers side struts in place. The struts we're using on this side are static struts. They're not put in place with a hydraulic pump. One critical factor in all rescue operations in particular the initial stabilization phase, we're always trying to strive beyond one name. By being on one knee, that allows us to quickly move out of the area in the event the load shifts. Becomes out of balance. It's also important when you're working on one knee to make sure that you always have a means of egress clear behind you. You don't want any tools or equipment in your way if you wanna move out from the load quickly. [SOUND] The principles of the struts are the same as if you were stabilizing a car. It's an A frame. We're trying to maintain and stay within a 45 degree angle. Good solid positive contact. This is just to stabilize, not to lift or raise the vehicle. Again our strut is making firm positive contact, with the frame rail, and the ground, not to any moving parts on the truck. For this part of the stabilization segment we wanted to simulate a common accident with a car underneath a simitrailer known as an under ride. Looking at our stabilization we're sticking with our twenty-four inch long cribbing, building our solid base. All the way up to our points of contact which when it reaches the top, the outside section is what will be referred to as the rail. Underneath are actual floor joints that run from side to side. Typically, they're spaced anywhere from 10 to 16 inches apart, so it's pretty important that we either read the rivets. To where it's attached. Or we physically go underneath. Size up where those floor joists are, because the two outside points of contact will catch the rail. The back two points of contact, on the curb box, will catch the floor joist. By catching all four points, we are able to say that we are supporting 24,000 pounds without exceeding the max height of 48 inches. As we transition to the other side of the car, we utilized a strut system. One thing that we want to point out about the strut is the placement should also be at the floor joints. Good, solid, positive contact, main, maintaining a 45 degree angle, and we're tightening our ratchet straps. In this scenario we're using two ratchet straps between the struts on either side of the truck. As we close this stabilization segment, we just want to emphasize that we covered just a few basic scenarios. For simple stabilization, loads, weights can vary based on the size of the trucks. So being able to use these tools are a good starting point. We'd like to thank Colmatro, for sponsoring this section of training minutes. Thanks for watching.

McCarthy's bail: Helpful or hurtful for infrastructure investment?
With help from Lauren Gardner, Heather Caygle and Tim Starks
McCARTHY'S BAIL — HELPFUL OR HURTFUL FOR INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT? Rep. Kevin McCarthy at the helm of the House was looking like a pretty dreamy prospect for Capitol Hill's transportation policy geeks. After all, the California Republican just vowed to make passage of a long-term transportation funding bill one of his top priorities if seated as speaker following John Boehner's resignation. So McCarthy's shocking withdrawal from the race on Thursday has got folks wondering whether infrastructure investment will now get short shrift. "Obviously the speaker can have some influence over the size and scope of a transportation bill," House T&I ranking Democrat Peter DeFazio told MT. "I had researched McCarthy. He in the past had asked for substantial earmarks. So I thought, well, that's a good sign. … Whoever they finally dig up, I mean, that could make a difference."
Story Continued Below
Already in motion: Rep. Dave Reichert says Ways and Means Chairman Paul Ryan is just too committed to accomplishing tax overhaul and trying to pair that with transportation investment for the next speaker to stifle that progress. "We have a strong chairman, we have a strong committee, and we're going to move that legislation forward," Reichert told MT. "And John Boehner has said: I'm staying here as speaker, … which means we're going to continue to move legislation forward. So I don't really see this disrupting that at all."
Everybody's priority: Our Lauren Gardner and Heather Caygle report that "disarray at the top of the House Republican food chain may turn out to be a surprise blessing for supporters of a long-term highway and transit bill." House T&I Chairman Bill Shuster says "the good news" is that transportation policy is "everybody's" priority. "Boehner's wanting to get it done, McCarthy wants to get it done," the chairman told us. And Jack Schenendorf — who served as chief of staff for Shuster's dad, Bud, in the '90s — said "Republicans are going to want to continue to show that they can govern."
Check out POLITICO's insight on who's in the running to replace Boehner, the House GOP's historic implosion and how this leaves Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell lonely on the fiscal dance floor.
INSIDE THE SHUSTER-DeFAZIO CONFAB: Everybody's favorite Capitol Hill curmudgeon presented Shuster with a copy on the recent Onion article poking fun at the state of U.S. infrastructure by detailing how Pope Francis blessed an ailing New York bridge during his U.S. visit. "I said: 'You know we need something like that. We need a miracle,'" DeFazio told reporters.

FOXX PUTS KIBOSH ON METRO OVERSIGHT PLEA: Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx has rejected the NTSB's request for the feds to shift authority for watchdogging WMATA from the FTA to the FRA. The Washington Post reported late last night that a DOT spokeswoman says the department doesn't believe the NTSB request is the "wisest or fastest" way to shore up the commuter rail's safety problems.
VW PROBES CONTINUE FULL BORE, FAR AND WIDE: Around the globe, Volkswagen bigwigs and government officials remain in crisis mode, a long three weeks after the EPA broke the news that the automaker had owned up to duping emissions tests. German investigators sift now through any evidence they found this week in scouring VW headquarters back in the motherland, while the European Commission presses member countries to accelerate stricter emissions testing in the wake of the scandal. Here in the U.S., Volkswagen faces the ongoing challenge of getting officials to believe that the higher-ups didn't know about the "defeat devices"; some are calling for the company to replenish tax incentives the IRS divvied up for vehicles that didn't actually meet the threshold; and the EPA awaits the automaker's proposal on how to fix its illegally rigged vehicles.
Unconvincing narrative: Lawmakers just aren't buying Volkswagen's insistence that software engineers installed the technological trickery without orders from on high. Our Lauren Gardner reports that some on Capitol Hill are extra skeptical considering "the company apparently did not seek to patent the 'pixie dust' technology that miraculously solved the nitrogen oxide pollution problem that plagued diesels for decades" and are doubting "that a few lower-level employees could integrate vehicles with illegal software into a multinational corporation's supply chain without top brass knowing."
Still troubleshooting: Although the verdict is still out on who's at fault, Volkswagen is under pressure to simultaneously cooperate in criminal investigations while coming up with suggestions for fixing its flawed fleet. The EPA expects the company to come through "as early as next week" with its proposed remedy, Lauren reports. And the Senate Finance Committee's top Democrat, Ron Wyden, is calling on the Treasury Department to require the automaker to repay "fraudulently earned" tax benefits, Pro Tax's Katy O'Donnell explains.
TO CLARIFY: An MT reader pointed out Thursday after reading our explainer on diesel's pollution profile and its climate impact that diesel emits more carbon dioxide per gallon when burned than gasoline. Our Lauren Gardner explains that, while that's true (diesel is 10 percent to 15 percent more carbon-intensive than gasoline), diesel car engines operate more efficiently than gas cars — anywhere from 20 percent to 35 percent better, according to the EPA. The agency says that "generally offsets" diesel's higher energy content (emissions profiles for cars tend to fluctuate throughout a fleet).
FEAR OF ASPIRING TERRORISTS FLYING VISA-FREE: Worried about terrorists easily boarding flights to the United States, Sen. Rob Portman now awaits a breakdown of how many extremist converts have traveled to ISIL battlefields from countries that participate in the Visa Waiver program. National Counterterrorism Center Director Nicholas Rasmussen told Portman on Thursday that more than 28,000 people have traveled to "the conflict zone" in roughly three years. And while Rasmussen said about 5,000 are from European regions with high rates of participation in the Visa Waiver program, he's agreed to report back to Portman with a more precise breakdown. The concern is that citizens of the 38 Visa Waiver nations will return home after traveling to the Middle East to join with terrorist groups and will be able to easily hop flights to partner countries — including the U.S.
UBER DIGS FOR DATA BREACH CLUES: Uber is prodding Comcast for additional information about an IP address it suspects had some role in a February data breach in which up to 50,000 driver names and license numbers were downloaded. Uber accidentally posted the private encryption key to a database containing driver information on the open source repository GitHub. Uber claims that an unidentified person using a Comcast Internet protocol address accessed the database using the key.
Ride-share rivalry? According to unnamed sources cited by Reuters, that IP address was assigned to an employee at rival ride share company Lyft — a claim Reuters acknowledges it was unable to independently verify. A federal magistrate judge in July approved Uber's request to force Comcast into revealing more about the IP address, although whomever it belongs to is anonymously appealing that ruling to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. The IP address in question is different from the one used to cause the data breach, lawyers for the anonymous person told Reuters.
MOVING ON UP: Mario Cordero is set for another stint as a federal maritime commissioner following Senate confirmation on Thursday. Cordero was first confirmed to the commission in 2011 and was appointed chairman in 2013. He has also served on the Board of Harbor Commissioners for the Port of Long Beach.

Cannes: Lars von Trier Writing Script for Detroit-Set Horror Project
The "Nymphomaniac" auteur has begun writing a screenplay for fellow Danish filmmaker Kristian Levring to direct.
Cannes persona non grata Lars von Trier won't be at this year's festival, but he already has his next project lined up.
The controversial Danish director is penning a script for fellow Dane Kristian Levring. Levring is in Cannes this year with Western The Salvation starring Mads Mikkelsen (Hannibal) and Eva Green (300: Rise of an Empire), which screens as part of the festival's Midnight Screenings program.
PHOTOS: Cannes: Inside The Hotel du Cap
The project, with the working title Detroit, is described as a horror film set in the downtrodden U.S. city. It won't be von Trier's first foray into the genre. His Antichrist, which scandalized Cannes when it screened here in 2009 (and went on to win the best actress prize for star Charlotte Gainsbourg), was the director's very twisted take on torture-porn horror a la Saw. His 1990s television miniseries The Kingdom also payed tribute to American horror movies.
STORY: 'Nymphomaniac' 101: Who's Who in Lars Von Trier's Sexually Explicit New Film
The last feature von Trier wrote that he did not direct was Thomas Vinterberg's Dear Wendy in 2004.
Von Trier began writing the script to Detroit about a month ago after years of prodding by Levring. Von Trier's production company, Zentropa, produced The Salvation and the company's sales arm, TrustNordisk, is selling the title in Cannes.

Recent SoHo reviews
"Easy to work with owner. Warm welcome to amazing apartment. Clean & roomy (yes, roomy). Well furnished. We were a family of three but there is room for 4-5. We've rented other vacation places in NYC before but this has been the best experience to date. The apartment is close to the metro, shopping, restaurants and sightseeing. Safe and quiet neighborhood."Guest: Steve S. Date of Stay: April 2015 Review Submitted: April 9, 2015View listing
"Spacious property with everything (shopping, food, subway etc) steps away. We would return here on another trip to NYC."Guest: Chris J. Date of Stay: August 2015 Review Submitted: August 31, 2015View listing
"Our dilemma was to stay uptown in a big hotel or stay in a local venue we decided to stay in SOHO. This was a super decision you feel like a local the subway F train and Whole foods a half a block away. There are dozens of small places to eat nearby and we went everywhere from a Mets game in Queens to Coney Island using the subway and an inexpensive metro rail pass. We took our two grand boys ages 14,10 they had a super time Folks this is the way to see the city we planned out our week and its so easy from the apartment. The apartment from our standards was perfect we live in the country with lots of space and not in a big city like NY so obviously city living was an adjustment but we felt completely safe at all times. Mandy suggested several local places to eat she was right on we enjoyed every one and had a starting point. We walked to the Village one night and ate at Johns pizza as well. Just a heads up many of these places to eat are cash only but the food is inexpensive unlike uptown. Katz deli is a few blocks away as are many breakfast diners. Best play we saw was Jersey Boys don't buy tickets before you go buy from discount places in the city or Brooklyn. In summary had a fantastic time looking forward to another trip back and we will try and book here again the host Mandy is so friendly and helpful. I did read one review about the bar next door but we never had an issue with noise the apt was clean and had everything we needed"Guest: Rick Date of Stay: July 2015 Review Submitted: August 4, 2015View listing
"This apartment is gorgeous! The views are spectacular! It's also in the best location if you really want to be in the heart of NYC. We were two couples and there was a ton of room to spread out and be comfortable - two huge bedrooms and bathrooms and lots of space to lounge around and store our belongings. It was great to be able to do our laundry since we were in NYC for a month. Location is excellent for shopping, groceries, bars, restaurants, & subways - everything you need is within walking distance. The host was great and always available to answer any questions and provide suggestions for places to eat, etc. We love this place and highly recommend it!"Guest: Rosie Date of Stay: April 2015 Review Submitted: May 13, 2015View listing

Definition from Wiktionary, the free dictionary
Attested since the end of the 18th century. Origin unknown.
In one of the earliest mentions, "The Statistical Account of Scotland", 1793, by John Sinclair, page 593, we read in a paragraph devoted to weavers: "Besides these, they are now much employed in working a thin kind of coarse linen called Silesias, vulgarly Scrims, whereof each piece is 27 or 30 inches broad ..".
- Rhymes: -ɪm
scrim (plural scrims)
- A kind of light cotton or linen fabric, often woven in openwork patterns, -- used for curtains, etc,.
- A large military scarf, usually camouflage coloured and used for concealment when not used as a scarf.
- A woven, nonwoven or knitted fabric composted of continuous strands of material used for reinforcing or strengthening membranes.
- (theater) A theater drop that appears opaque when a scene in front is lighted and transparent or translucent when a scene in back is lighted.
2007 January 22, Steve Smith, "In Austin, Echoes of a Distant War in an Opera's American Premiere", New York Times:
- Mummified mannequins dangling above the set, illuminated from within, were a heavy-handed touch, but the designer George Tsypin's translucent scrims and painted drops beautifully conveyed the passage of sun-blasted days and bone-chilling nights on the edge of civilization.
- Thin canvas glued on the inside of panels to prevent shrinking, checking, etc.

This invention relates to utility knives and more particularly comprises a utility knife with an automatic blade loading system that enables the user to change blades without touching them so as to achieve maximum safety, speed and convenience in the operation of the device. This application claims the benefits of applicant's earlier filed, copending provisional application Ser. No. 60/307,285 filed Jul. 23, 2001 and incorporated herein by reference.
Utility knives are widely used for a number of different purposes and are a very popular and handy tool. Conventionally, utility knives use a thin double-ended blade that in use extends out one end of the knife case. When the cutting end becomes dull or otherwise unsuited for continued use, the blade is reversed so that its other end extends out of the case. In most utility knives, reversal of the blade requires handling of it, and because the blades are very sharp, thin, and not particularly easy to handle, accidents frequently occur. It is also difficult to properly mount the blade within the components in the case.
A number of utility knives have been developed that employ cartridges that hold a plurality of blades, some of which enable the user to change the blade with a reduced risk of cutting ones self, but none have proved to be entirely satisfactory. Some require a very large case to receive the cartridge, which detracts from the comfort of using the tool. And none of the prior art tools known to applicant provide total protection against accidental injury when reversing or changing the blade. Many of those knives have non-traditional shapes so as to limit their appeal to those who frequently use them.
In accordance with the present invention, the utility knife has a cartridge that may contain as many as 20 or more blades fully enclosed in it and that may be mounted in the case without the user coming into contact with any of the blades. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, the cartridge is initially packaged with all the blades in one compartment stacked close together, side-by-side. The blades may be extended from the cartridge and the case, one at a time to an operative position wherein one end of the blade is exposed, and when not in use the blade may be fully withdrawn into the case. An actuator mounted on the case controls a carrier that engages the blades in the cartridge one at a time and slides them to the operative position wherein one end of the blade extends from the case as well as to a number of retracted positions within the case.
In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, the cartridge has two compartments, one of which when the cartridge is initially loaded, contains all of the blades, and the other compartment is empty. After one end of each blade has been used and is to be replaced, the used blade is moved into the second compartment and thereafter, the next blade in the first compartment is moved into position for continued use of the knife. This sequence is followed for each of the blades in the first compartment until one end of each blade is used and all are deposited in the second compartment. Thereafter, the cartridge is repositioned in the case so that the second compartment is close to the operative end of the case and all of the blades may be withdrawn in sequence from the second compartment. When the cartridge is repositioned in the case, the blades in the second compartment are positioned so that the unused ends of the blades are moved one at a time into the operative position. In sequence, each of the blades in the second compartment is extended to the operative position exposing the unused end and when the second end is worn, the blade is deposited in the first compartment now at the rear of the case. When both ends of all the blades are used, the cartridge is discarded and a new one inserted in the case.
In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, the carrier which moves through the cartridge and case to position the blades one at a time in the operative position and alternate retracted positions, is operated by an actuator that remains locked in position until the actuator lock is released to allow the actuator to move longitudinally in the case. As the actuator is attached to the carrier, the carrier cannot move without movement of the actuator, and only the actuator is accessible to move the carrier and the blades.
The various aspects of the present invention will be better understood and appreciated from the following detailed description of one embodiment thereof shown in the accompanying drawings, in which:
The utility knife of the present invention includes a case 40, a blade cartridge 42 containing a number of blades 44, a carrier 46 movable within the case 40 and through the cartridge 42, and an actuator 48 connected to the carrier and accessibly mounted on the case 40. As is described in detail below, the cartridge in a preferred embodiment of the invention contains a pair of compartments and is initially filled with all of the new blades in the same compartment, while the other compartment is empty. The blades are withdrawn from the new blade compartment one at a time so that one end of each blade may be sequentially used, and after each blade requires replacement, it is deposited in the other compartment. When all of the blades have been transferred to the other compartment, the cartridge is reversed in the case and the unused edges of the blades are sequentially used and then deposited in what becomes the used blade compartment when the cartridge is reversed. In this manner, one edge of each blade is used as the active cutting implement in the utility knife, and when all the blades have one used edge, the cartridge is reversed so as to place the unused edges in position to be used in sequence. These various components are described separately below along with their interaction with the other components in the assembly.
Case 40
The case 40 is particularly illustrated in
As shown in
A slot 90 (see
The case 40 and more particularly its shells 60 and 62 define the large chamber 100 that receives the cartridge 42 and carrier 46. The shell 62 is provided with shoulders 102 on its inner surface (see
Cartridge 42
The cartridge 42 is shown in
The two halves 120 that make up the cartridge may be connected together edge-to-edge by flexible interengageable hook-like tabs 132 and flanges 134 formed as integral parts of the case halves. The tabs and flanges are clearly shown in
To assure proper alignment of the two halves 120 of the cartridge 42 when it is assembled, offsets 136 and recesses 138 are provided along the edge of the bottom wall 122, and end walls 126 and 127. The offsets and recesses in the bottom wall of the cartridge and in each of the compartments create an irregular longitudinal mating edge where the two halves 120 meet. This arrangement prevents the sharp bottom edges of the blades described below from getting caught in what otherwise would be a straight parting line in the cartridge floor. The tabs 136 and recesses 138 also serve to maintain the planar configuration of the floor formed by the edge-to-edge bottom walls 122. The two compartments 128 and 130 are separated and defined in part by a V-shaped wall 150 that may include additional tabs 132 and flanges 134 or other structure to facilitate the connection of the two halves. One side of each V-shaped wall 150 converges upwardly with the adjacent end wall 126 or 127 so as to configure the compartments 128 and 130 to complement the shape of the blades 44. This is shown particularly in
It should be noted that end wall 126 of each cartridge half 120 includes a slot 154 adjacent the side wall 125 and through which the operative blade is extended while the other end wall 127 does not have such a slot (see
A restrictor 152 is shown in
Blades 44
The blades 44 (two embodiments shown in
It will be noted in
It will be appreciated that the "hook" blade of
Carrier 46
The carrier 46 shown in
The outside surface 220 of the central portion 202 of the carrier body 190 (the surface facing away from the cartridge) carries a flat metal spring 222 (see
Referring to
Actuator 48
The actuator 48 is shown in
Preferably the rocker is biased to the locking position of
Movement of Carrier in Operation of Utility Knife
If the forward cutting edge 182L of the blade 44 is not worn and the knife is not to be used for a period of time, the carrier 46 may be returned to the position shown in
Interaction of Cartridge 42, Blade 44 and Carrier 46A
The interaction of the cartridge 42, carrier 46, and blade 44 as illustrated in
The used blades in the rear compartment are held out of the way of incoming blade 44 by means of springs 320. The springs 320 may be formed as an integral part of the cartridge. In
When the blade 44 is to be withdrawn fully into the cartridge 42, no interference can be encountered from the other blades in the front compartment because the rear corner 182R has not been withdrawn from it (see
If the carrier is positioned as shown in
A pressure spring 340 bears against the rear of the stack of blades in each compartment (see
When the cartridge 42 with the blades 44 in the rear compartment is out of the case, the spring 340 which remains in the case is not available to urge the blades into the position shown in
Another embodiment of the invention is shown in
In the foregoing description the invention has been directed to a utility knife using traditional sized blades customarily approximately 0.025 inches in thickness. In such an application of this invention the passageways 154 and 316 may be approximately 0.037 inches, less than the thickness of two blades (0.050 inches) and nevertheless providing enough clearance to allow one blade at a time to comfortably pass through them. It should be appreciated that the invention has wider application than simply with utility knives and the invention is not to be limited to that specific use.
In the foregoing description many components have been described as being integrally formed together with other components in the knife. For example, certain springs, ramps, gates, etc. have been described as being integral with the main parts 120 of the cartridge 46. However, it is important to recognize that these and other components may be fabricated as separate parts and subsequently be assembled together to form the cartridge. The same applies to the various parts of the case 40, carrier 46 and actuator 48. While parts may have been characterized in the description as being integral with one another, the present invention is not confined to that specific form as it is within the scope of the invention to separately fabricate the parts and subsequently assemble them together.
Upon viewing this or other descriptions of the invention and/or a reduction to practice thereof, those skilled in the art will recognize that many variations may be made of the embodiments of the invention viewed by them. Therefore, it is not intended that the breadth of the invention be limited to the specific embodiments illustrated and described. Rather, the breadth of the invention is to be determined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

"Beauty is a light in the heart."
~Khalil Gibran
My sweet friend Tami let me snap a few images of her for her blog and website with this super quick (and early–love you, girlie!) mini session. Tami is one of those super genuine people with a heart of gold, and I am so fortunate to have her in my life. She never gets in front of the camera, and I am so happy she did so that she can see the beauty that others see not only from the outside but deep within…isn't she gorgeous?

The Wilbur Lee "Pappy" O'Daniel Photograph Collection
What's Inside this Collection.
This collection consists of photographs of Wilbur Lee "Pappy" O'Daniel - radio show host, Texas governor from 1938-1941 and US Senator in the 1940s. He ran for the United States Senate and defeated Lyndon Johnson by 1,311 votes. O'Daniel was also the only person to have defeated Lyndon Johnson in an election. He was best known for his Populist views and vaudeville-hillbilly image, all of which are portrayed in these images.
The collection includes photographs of his various campaigns, his inauguration, hunting trips, and his family, as well as six of the Capitol and interior of the Governor's Mansion. These photographs paint a more complete picture of O'Daniel's terms and Texas political history and personality.

"I ordered this thank you for my daughters first birthday and it was absolutely perfect. The quality was amazing and everyone just loved them."
"The quality was excellent. The format allowed me to present one custom message and signature, but also left enough room to write a personalized note. Most importantly, this photo card is much more than just a thank you, it is a keepsake. I actually received thank you notes for my beautiful thank you note."
"this website made all easy for me from address labels, to the invitation card and lastly the Thank you note, I got it done all at once, it was very easy to do."
"This thank you card is perfect if you want space to write a short note front or back. I love the simplicity of the style and the quality of the matte paper. I could not be more pleased with my order. The photo was crisp and clean. Bravo Tiny Prints!"
"I used this design for the thank you cards from my wedding and love it! Love the font. Cards came out just great and the customer service team was so helpful to notify me when the resolution of my photo needed to be adjusted. Once fixed, the cards were destined to be great and they are!!! I was so pleased with this experience (and this is after a poor experience a few months ago) I am using them again for Christmas cards! I think Tiny Prints is great so I'll continue to use them!"

New on the scene: Pat and Deb's Cafe
-- Reason to go: A full menu of breakfast, lunch and dinner items reminiscent of all-night diners in the Northeast. Co-owners Pat Heinhold and Debra Mott recently opened the place, which they call "a family tradition homestyle cooking and catering" café. The café offers indoor dining, and outdoor seating on a patio with about a dozen tables under a thatched covering, surrounded on two sides with swaying palms.
Formerly known as Haney's, the spot attracts locals and residents of Bonita Beach & Tennis Club. Heinhold has been in the food service business for many years, and recently worked for the government as a quality assurance food inspector.
"I have an eye for cleanliness and a high standard for my establishment. The first thing I do is make sure the kitchen is spotless — then I start to cook," Heinhold said.
All cooking and baking is done on the premises, and everything is homemade from fresh ingredients.
"I started a tradition of giving my homemade fudge as a Christmas treat for my servers. Then I decided to share it as an after-dinner treat as my customers leave. Now I have people call ahead of time and ask if I'm still giving a piece of fudge. It's a great way to say thank you to my regulars and visiting customers," Heinhold said.
-- On the menu: For breakfast, everything from a feta cheese omelet to signature Belgian waffles (not "Belgium" — the lighter, sweeter type) to get the morning going. Also, you'll find country fried steak, a Santa Fe wrap, pork chops and eggs.
For lunch, select from 11 salad choices, burgers, grouper — grilled or fried — crab cake, gyros, four different wraps and hot sandwiches, including turkey, roast beef, meatloaf, French dip and pot roast.
Come dinner time, there are 17 meat and poultry choices — anything from stir-fry chicken to tender ribeye to grilled liver and onions. Nine seafood selections range from butterfly shrimp to broiled cod and grouper to grilled salmon. After dinner, you can browse through the dessert menu — a slice of lemon meringue or strawberry Bavarian pie, perhaps?
-- Specials: All you can eat specials run two nights a week. On Wednesdays, it's spaghetti, salad and Texas toast. Friday's special is grouper with fries and slaw. On Saturdays, go for the quarter chicken and half rack of ribs combo. Senior citizens can choose from eight entrees, all at discounted prices. Beer, red and white wines are also offered, with Bud and Bud Light on tap. Off-premises catering services are also offered, with menus tailored to individual tastes or event needs.
-- If you go: 5900 Bonita Beach Road, at the Bonita Beach & Tennis Club, Building No. 1, Bonita Springs.
-- Phone: 992-4504
-- Hours: Monday through Sunday, 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.
-- Entertainment: Karaoke system set up and ready for takers indoors

The Ensign affair vs. the Conyers case
Ugh. What a wretched dog. GOP Sen. John Ensign of Nevada cheated on his beautiful wife — the mother of his three children — with a campaign aide who was married to one of his Senate staffers. He rode his high horse as a guardian of marriage and Promise Keepers. And then he only admitted publicly that he broke those marital vows when the husband of his ex-mistress reportedly asked for money. It's galling that Ensign was even considering a 2012 presidential bid given the hell he put his family through.
I know, I know. "At least he didn't lie about it like John Edwards did." That's what I'm hearing from some readers, but I'm not playing that. Seems to me Ensign would have kept up the same kind of happy face appearances the Edwards family did had it not been for the purported blackmail threat. He's a dog.
Rule of the Beltway: Never trust a man in politics whose hair is prettier than his wife's.
Wed. afternoon update: Ensign resigns GOP leadership post.
Now, let's talk about a far more scandalous scandal that the MSM won't spill one-tenth the ink it's spilling on the Ensign affair: the Conyers corruption case. I noted the federal bribery case against Democrat House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers' wife, Monica, and other dirty Detroit Dem politicians back in January.
The clock is ticking. Mrs. Conyers is now under threat of indictment:
Detroit City Councilwoman Monica Conyers has yet to accept a plea deal offered by the federal government in connection with a corruption investigation at City Hall, increasing the odds that she could soon face federal indictment.
The federal authorities told Conyers they wanted an answer by the end of the day Tuesday, but there had been no movement by 5 p.m., a person familiar with the investigation said.
The bribery-related charge that Conyers could plead to carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison, though she probably would receive less time.
Two sources who have spoken with Conyers said she is reluctant because she doesn't want to serve time in jail.
Conyers mostly ignored reporters when she left City Hall in an unmarked car after 3 p.m. en route to her weekly television show "Ask the Councilwoman With Monica Conyers." But when asked if she would accept a plea, she murmured that The Detroit News was "full of (it)."
This goes beyond moral hypocrisy. It's a massive betrayal of the public trust. One of the pay-to-play contracts probed by the FBI involved an agreement to pay a company called Synagro nearly $50 million a year to haul and treat the city's sewage sludge. The federal probe involves whether Mrs. Conyers took bribes to switch her vote on a $1.2 billion contract with Synagro.
Corruption runs in the Conyers family. Remember? Flashback January 2007:
Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) has been licking his chops at the thought of the mischief he can undertake as chairman of the House Judiciary Committee – starting today, when his party assumes control of Congress.
Indeed, he once was speaking openly of an impeachment drive against President Bush – until incoming Speaker Nancy Pelosi put the kibosh on it.
But Conyers' credibility as the Democrats' moral watchdog was shredded by the dubious deal he just struck with the House Ethics Committee – which was made public late last Friday in a holiday-weekend bid to avoid publicity.
After a probe lasting more than three years, the committee declared that Conyers has "accepted responsibility" for a series of House rules violations involving the use – and abuse – of his staffers.
According to published reports, Conyers used several staffers as his personal servants – requiring them to babysit and tutor his children, chauffeur him to personal events, help his wife with her law-school classes, work on his campaigns and pay restaurant and motel bills.
One staffer was even ordered to move into Conyers' home for six weeks and serve as a live-in nanny to his kids.
Your tax dollars at work. But since there's no sex or opportunity for GOP-bashing, the Conyers corruption cases won't get on the front page.

"These Save The Dates are absolutely gorgeous. We ordered them in blaze, and the colors are just lovely. My fiance and I couldn't be happier with the design and the quality of the paper. Special shout-out to the Design Team for taking the time to proof my prints, and to Heldana at Customer Service for changing the quantity to my order. WPD is wonderful!"
"This Save The Date postcard was adorable. I loved that we could add four engagement photos since it is so hard to pick out of them. Our friends and family loved these. I thought a post card was unique and convenient. They came rather quickly, and were packaged securely in shrink wrap. The quality of the paper is really good. I would definitely recommend these."
"We had the designer update the calendar to have it set to our wedding date and the return address added to the back of the post card. The designer got it right on the first proof. The photo and paper quality are excellent. Highly recommend this for your save the date if you're looking for something modern/simple."
"This design is so cute! I changed the pink pictured to green and it really popped with the background of our photo. The postcard was thick and a nice quality. Great price!"
"The cards were very beautiful. I was pleased with the workmanship. They were delivered quickly and I was excited when they arrived."

Woman describes harrowing rescue from her home
She and friend are recovering
Her housemate and business partner, Nadine Bunn, was in the living room of their La Conchita home.
"It happened so fast," Chako said Thursday, as she recalled the day the mudslide hit from a hospital bed at Community Memorial Hospital in Ventura.
"We heard the most horrendous noise of our lives. It sounded like 15 freight trains dragging, and I jumped to my feet and ran to the sliding glass door and saw a tip of mud coming down the street. It was like watching slime come down."
Then everything went black -- but not for long.
The mudslide that would take the lives of 10 of Bunn and Chako's neighbors wouldn't be the end for them.
"That's still to be determined," Chako said. "It was pretty miraculous."
When Chako regained consciousness, she was lying on her back, and the house had caved in around her. She heard Bunn calling from the other side of the house, and they exchanged information about how they were. Bunn's arms and leg were pinned and she could not move. Chako could, so she stuck her hand in the air and together they yelled as loudly as they could.
"I heard somebody say, 'I see you! I see you! I see a hand!' " Chako remembered hearing. Rescuers worked quickly, she said, and soon they were safe.
Bunn was taken to a hospital in Santa Barbara. She has multiple fractures to her left leg, was in surgery Thursday and was unable to be interviewed for this story.
Chako had a broken clavicle, head injuries and a gash on her leg.
The women, each in her 50s, own a music store in downtown Santa Barbara called Folk Mote Music and have hearts of gold, their friends say.
"They're incredibly kind to everybody who walks in there," said Laurie Rasmussen, their one and only part-time employee. "They're blind to class.
"They're very good-hearted women, and their store is kind of the heart and soul of the folk music community here," said Tom Ball, who plays harmonica in a blues/traditional music duo with guitarist Kenny Sultan.
The store has always been a place where everybody has been welcomed, even the downtrodden, who might be given free items, such as guitar strings, if they couldn't pay.
Now it's payback time for those good deeds.
The women kept the music going in people's lives for almost three decades, and people are returning the favor by keeping Bunn and Chako's store alive now.
The day the accident happened, Rasmussen had a key to the store, so when she heard what happened she went to the store and opened it.
She couldn't get to the store Thursday because her route was closed because of the slides.
She found out, however, that a former employee, Ed Rockett, still had a key, and he went to the store and opened it for the day.
Ball is helping at the store too.
"We all love them very much," he said.
A donation fund has been established by the women's friends.
