Compression Stockings: How to Use Them
Specially fitted compression stockings are tight at the feet with a gradually looser fit on the leg. Because there are different types, it's best to use the kind that your doctor recommends and that work best for you.
Compression stockings:
- Help improve blood flow.
- Help keep blood from pooling in the legs.
- May help prevent blood clots from forming in deep leg veins.
- Help relieve symptoms and prevent problems caused by things like varicose veins, skin ulcers, and deep vein thrombosis.
- Will help the most if you wear them every day while you're awake, especially while you're on your feet.
Compression stockings are a type of sock you wear to help prevent blood from pooling in your legs. They may help prevent blood clots in deep leg veins.
Compression stockings:
- Are tightest at the foot. The tightness gradually loosens as the stocking fits higher on the leg.
- Cover the leg from the arch of your foot to just below or above your knee. Or they cover the leg like panty hose.
- Can be purchased from a medical supply store or a drugstore with a doctor's prescription. They may cost between $60 and $100 a pair (panty hose style are more expensive). They usually need to be replaced after 4 to 6 months of regular use.
- Are available without a prescription, and you can buy them online. If you get them online, be sure to buy the right size and compression level recommended by your doctor.

Compression stockings help keep your blood moving. This is important to prevent and treat several problems, including:
- Venous skin ulcers. Compression stockings help keep blood from pooling in your lower legs, which can cause skin to break down and form open wounds.
- Varicose veins. Compression stockings may relieve symptoms and slow the progress of varicose veins.
- Deep vein thrombosis. Compression stockings may help prevent blood clots from forming in your lower legs. They're also used to help relieve swelling and pain.

This answer is incorrect.
Wearing compression stockings helps keep blood moving in the legs, which is helpful for varicose veins and preventing venous skin ulcers.
Compression stockings can be a part of your daily routine. If they fit right, they should be snug but comfortable.
It's best to wear them all the time, unless you are bathing or sleeping. Plan on replacing your stockings every 4 to 6 months.
At first, putting on a pair of compression stockings can be tricky. But with some practice, you'll find what works for you. Here are some tips:
Before you put them on
- Hand wash new stockings after you buy them. It will make them more flexible and easier to put on. Consider buying a second pair, if you can afford it. That way, you'll have a clean pair to wear while you wash the other.
- Put a dressing on any open wound before putting on the compression stockings.
- Keep your stockings by your bed, so you can put them on when you first get up.
To put them on
- Do it early in the morning, when you have the least swelling in your legs.
- Sit in a chair with a back. This gives you something to lean against as you put on the stockings.
- Hold the top of the stocking with one hand. Then with your other hand, reach inside the stocking and push your arm all the way in until you reach the end and can grab the toe.
- When you have a firm grip on the toe, pull your hand back up through the stocking, turning it inside out, but leaving the tips of your fingers in the toe of the stocking.
- Put your toes into the toe of the stocking, and gently roll and slide it back over your heel. Then use your finger tips or palms to slowly roll and slide the stocking all the way up your leg.
- Be careful not to grab and pull at the top of the stocking, because that can cause it to rip or tear.
If you have trouble
- Wear rubber gloves to help you grip the fabric, if you need to.
- Try a silk "slip sock" if you use toeless stockings. It helps the stocking slide over your foot, and then pulls off through the toe after the stocking is on. You can get one at a medical supply store.
- Try a "stocking butler." It's a metal device that holds the stocking open while you step into it. Try one before you buy one, though. They can be hard to use.
- Talk to your doctor or the certified fitter at your medical supply store, especially if you have a disability that makes it hard to put the stockings on.
- Call your doctor if your toes get numb or painful or turn dark while you are wearing compression stockings.
Test Your Knowledge
Compression stockings should be snug but comfortable enough to wear all day.
This answer is correct.
Compression stockings are meant to be quite snug. But if they hurt or cause problems, such as your toes turning dark or numb, call your doctor. Ask for help if you're having trouble getting or keeping your stockings on.

Now that you have read this information, you are ready to take an active part in your treatment by wearing compression stockings every day.
Talk with your doctor or a certified fitter at a medical supply store about any problems you have with your compression stockings. The risk of going without compression treatment is too great to neglect wearing them.
When you visit your doctor, take along your stockings and anything you use to help you put them on.

Mini-SGCC's Grad Bash, that's what!
That's right. On June 2, 2012, my baby girl graduated from high school. I'm still having a hard time wrapping myself around that one! It seems like only yesterday, I was dropping her off for her first day of kindergarten. Where did the time go? It's whizzed by so quickly that it all seems like a blur. I need to catch my breath!
Of course, Mr. SGCC and I are so incredibly proud of our daughter's accomplishments – especially this past six months since her accident. Under the same circumstances, a lot of kids would have just given up on school. But, Mini-SGCC didn't. She not only persevered, despite her injuries and physical limitations, she triumphed and graduated with honors! Now, in a few short months, she will begin a new chapter in her life at college. As excited as I am for her to continue on her journey, I know that I will be lost without her. I take some comfort in knowing that she will call regularly – even if it's only to tell me she needs more money in her debit account!
To mark this auspicious occasion, Mr. SGCC and I hosted a big graduation bash for family and friends. It was held at The Boathouse, a gorgeous private waterfront venue owned by the Hyatt Regency here in Sarasota. I've spent the past month planning and organizing the party, which is why I've been noticeably absent here. I'd forgotten how much work is involved in putting together a big event, although I had tons of fun doing it. read more >>

Above Top Secret
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
On one hand, Above Top Secret (pronounced ATS) is a conspiracy and breaking news site manned by some of the brightest people on the planet. On another hand, it's a place where distracting ads try to grab your attention, and some actually float up out of nowhere and defy all attempts to capture or kill them. And on the last hand, the one that holds all the cards, ATS is a site occupied by inmates of mental hospitals and/or security agencies monitoring the populace to see where the crazy will go next.
The motto
ATS, whose motto is "Deny Ignorance" (users must post this at least once per day), is inhabited by thousands of administrators, geeks, scientists, pre-teens and pre-memes, and by good and bad writers of all descriptions and professions. It's inhibited by mothers calling their sons up to dinner. The smart people on ATS research, expose and report on the outlandishness popping up all around us, then dig in to expose the secrets from the deepest, darkest lurky-holes of history.
The not-so-smart people who troll ATS give it a go anyway, and come away with some friendly advice: STFU! Girls, here's your chance to pick up an intellectually liberated - possibly obese and/or dehydrated - layabout who can type, do research, formulate exotic theories, and make the best chip dip that a little money can buy. And boys, here's your chance to hit on lots of cute, hydrated, intelligent working women and feel the cold sting of their laughter.
The Content
Topics at Above Top Secret range from the latest threads about mainstream news and unconstitutional censorship, things you are not allowed to talk about on ATS, loud booms in the sky and under the earth, major die-offs of species leading to gleefully anticipated global destruction, debates on if women are real or just alien-enduced internet fantasy, and the newest and oldest in political and governmental conspiracies. And that's just their warm up act. They go on to report on wars and rumors of rumors of wars, and write about "Look over there!" when all other media outlets tell you to "Look over here!". Oddly, they allow no mention of "drugs", even though a healthy percentage of their users are solidly and significantly stoned when they come to visit.
Men who prowl ATS have fun with facts, fear, frivolity, and fantasy - the 4-F Club for those who don't fuck. The women who write there are the salt of the earth, and likely know the chemical formula for both salt and earth. In fact, ATS's brave users exist far ahead of their time while digging their muddy hands into their time. If anyone tells you that ghosts can drive a UFO, they probaby aren't doing it on ATS, which doesn't put up very well with stupid. When an ATS thread reaches fifty stars you can bet your mother's house that some good data got through the dumb-down filter laid across the net by "the man" and "his woman". And if it's excitement you're after, exploring the site's caves and forums can take you deep into weird caverns where stalagtites grow faces and yell at you about the next big thing. Just don't swing your arms around, you're liable to hit Stephen Hawking on the way out.
A useful top secret: It's best to view the site as a logged-in member, even if you never post anything, because the unholy place seems as full of ads as that black thing was full of stars. Logged in members bypass some ads, but not all of them by a longshot (not-so-much-fun fact: they even let ads grow in-between every fifth or sixth post as seen by the non-member riff-raff: a.k.a. the general public). And as an added bonus, when you log-in you get to view users avatars - some creepy ones, power mad ones, sexy ones, beautiful ones, but mostly scary ones - and can award "flags", "stars", and "geese" to threads and comments that you like and/or agree with.
The bottom line
And these are the bottom lines unless you can find the secret bottom line, on its way to denying ignorance Above Top Secret blasts you to the moon (unlike those faked moon landings) and sends you back either with more knowledge of your world and others like it or with more backlit trauma than your brain can soak up in one visit. Ignorance has its place, but certainly not at ATS (unless you're their advertising manager).
Where the wild things are:
- We all live inside a yellow submarine, ah, I mean a computer.
- The size of the universe? Pretty big!

KEBLER PASS —There's a new town in Colorado. It has about 50 buildings, including a saloon, a church, a jail, a firehouse, a livery and a train station. Soon, it will have a mansion on a hill so the town's founder can look down on his creation.
But don't expect to move here — or even to visit.
This town is billionaire Bill Koch's fascination with the Old West rendered in bricks and mortar. It sits on a 420-acre meadow on his Bear Ranch below the Raggeds Wilderness Area in Gunnison County. It's an unpopulated, faux Western town that might boggle the mind of anyone who ever had a playhouse. Its full-size buildings come with polished brass and carved-mahogany details and are fronted with board sidewalks and underpinned by a water-treatment system. A locked gate with guards screens who comes and goes.
Koch's project manager has told county officials that the enclave in the middle of the 6,400-acre Bear Ranch won't ever be open to the public. It is simply for Koch's amusement and for that of his family and friends — and historians. It is the ultimate repository for his huge collection of Western memorabilia.
"It's the kind of stuff I guess you would expect a billionaire to construct. It's like something out of a 'Gunsmoke' movie set," said Ramon Reed, chairman of the Gunnison County Planning Commission.
The commission recently OK'd a 22,000-square-foot residence for Koch above the town that already has two buildings in excess of 11,000 square feet.
Koch, known as "Wild Bill" to some of his friends, is the founder and president of the energy company Oxbow Group, which operates the Elk Creek Mine near Somerset. Forbes estimates Koch's net worth at close to $4 billion.
Bill Koch is the brother of David and Charles Koch, two other billionaires who have made headlines in recent years for shoveling money to conservative causes, including the Tea Party movement.
But Bill Koch has mostly made waves for collecting rare wine, winning the America's Cup sailing race and, most recently, buying up every bit of valuable Western memorabilia that comes up for sale.
He paid $2.3 million for a photograph of Billy the Kid at an auction last year. He bought out the Buckskin Joe Western town near Cañon City for $3.1 million in 2010. He owns Jesse James' gun, Wyatt Earp's vest, Sitting Bull's rifle and a flag that belonged to Gen. George Custer.
He has more Charles Russell paintings and Frederic Remington bronzes than most museums.
In fact, he has crammed part of a museum with his collections this year. His Western art and artifacts were on display at the Society of the Four Arts at the Palm Beach Museum in Palm Beach, Fla. Palm Beach is where Oxbow is based.
In an interview this past spring with arts blog the Fine Art Notebook, Koch noted that he would be moving the collection to the Centennial State and told the interviewer, "I shouldn't tell you this, but I am building my own Western town in Colorado."
He also revealed that his wife told him he should go on the television show "Hoarders." It's a show about people obsessed with amassing things.
Koch will have a lot of room to keep his collections in Colorado. Around 50 buildings, along with a water-treatment system, have been permitted by Gunnison County in the past two years. Recently, the mansion — a home that will be the largest in Gunnison County — made it through the planning process.
Reed said Gunnison County has no restrictions on the size of residences, but the Koch home came before the planning commission because of a regulation that a residence of that size must not be "obtrusive."
Reed said they took into account that a third of the Koch mansion will be underground and it will be blocked by a hillside. Koch's designer and project manager agreed to tone down lighting so it won't be shining into the Raggeds Wilderness.
Koch also agreed to downsize a bit. The home is expected to come in at closer to 21,000 square feet in the final plans when one wing is removed.
Koch, who was not available for comment, also owns four properties in upper Castle Creek Valley near Aspen, including the 17,000-square-foot Elk Mountain Lodge that he turned into a personal residence when he bought it and the other three properties for $51 million in 2007. Elk Mountain was formerly a high-end hunting lodge.
That residence is along a county road, so it doesn't have the privacy of Bear Ranch.
Koch is trying to sew up more privacy at Bear Ranch through a land swap that brought his name into the public eye in Delta and Gunnison counties.
The controversial swap would give the government properties near Blue Mesa and in Dinosaur National Park in exchange for a public swath that cuts through his ranch.

Most sneaky pete series cues do not have a Collar;
I see many "Opinions" on the feel of this;
However; does anyone have evidence that a Collar makes an beneficial accuracy difference;
or is it just a change in irrelevant vibration translation when keeping the same combination of Ferrel + Tip.
What are the benefits or failures when NOT having a Collar; versus having a steel, bone, harder wood, or Plastic Collar (implex).
Or does this collar only serve to preserve the Joint section from 'Chipping' the wood at the connection.
For instance "Using a steel collar for your breaking cue" vs breaking with a wood to wood joint.

Introduction to Map/Reduce on Riak
This document describes Riak's implementation of a data processing
system based on the MapReduce[1] programming paradigm popularized by
Google. It assumes that you have already set up Riak, and know the
basics about dealing with Riak clients. For more information on these
prerequisites, see riak/doc/basic-setup.txt and
Quick and Dirty Example
If you have a Riak client hanging around, you can execute Map/Reduce
queries on it like this:
1> Count = fun(G, undefined, none) ->
[dict:from_list([{I, 1} || I <- riak_object:get_value(G)])]
2> Merge = fun(Gcounts, none) ->
[lists:foldl(fun(G, Acc) ->
dict:merge(fun(_, X, Y) -> X+Y end,
G, Acc)
3> {ok, [R]} = Client:mapred([{groceries, "mine"},{groceries, "yours"}],
[{map, {qfun, Count}, none, false},
{reduce, {qfun, Merge}, none, true}]).
4> L = dict:to_list(R).
If the "mine" and "yours" objects in the groceries bucket had values
of ["bread", "cheese"], ["bread", "butter"], the sequence of commands
above would result in L being bound to
[{"bread", 2},{"cheese",1},{"butter",1}].
More importantly, riak_client:mapred takes two lists as arguments.
The first list contains bucket key pairs, which are the keys to the
"starting values" of the Map/Reduce query. The second list are the
steps of the query.
Map Steps
Map steps expect as input a list of bucket/key pairs, just like the
first argument to the riak_client:mapred function. Riak executes a
map step by looking up values for keys in the input list and executing
the map function referenced in the step.
Map steps take the form:
{map, FunTerm, Arg, Accumulate}
FunTerm is a reference to the function that will compute the map of
each value. A function referenced by a FunTerm must be arity-3,
accepting the arguments:
Value: the value found at a key. This will be a Riak object
(defined by the riak_object module) if a value was found, or the
tuple {error, notfound} if a bucket/key was put in the input
list, but not found in the Riak cluster.
Data: An optional piece of data attached to the bucket/key tuple.
If instead of {Bucket, Key}, {{Bucket, Key}, Data} is passed as
input to a map step, that Data will be passed to the map
function in this argument. Data will be the atom 'undefined' if
the former form is used.
Arg: The Arg from the map step definition. The same Arg is passed
to every execution of the map function in this step.
Functions may be referenced in two ways:
{modfun, Module, Function} where Module and Function are atoms
that name an Erlang function in a specific module
{qfun, Function} where Function is a callable fun term
The function must return a *list* of values. The lists returned
by all executions of the map function for this step will be
appended and passed to the next step.
Arg: The third argument passed to the function referenced in FunTerm.
Accumulate: If true, the output of this map step will be included in
the final return of the mapred function. If false, the output will
be discarded after the next step.
Reduce Steps
A reduce step takes the form:
{reduce, FunTerm, Arg, Acc}
Where FunTerm, Arg, and Acc are mostly the same as their definition
for a map step, but the function referenced in FunTerm is instead of
arity 2. Its parameters are:
ValueList: The list of values produce by the preceeding step of the
Arg: The Arg from the step definition.
The function should again produce a list of values, but it must also
be true that the function is commutative, associative, and
idempotent. That is, if the input list [a,b,c,d] is valid for a given
F, then all of the following must produce the same result:
F([a,d] ++ F([c,b]))
Where does the code run?
So, all well and good, but you could code the same abstraction in a
couple of hours, right? Just fetch each object and run your function.
Well, not so fast. This map/reduce isn't just an abstraction, it
fully exploits data locality. That is to say, both map and reduce
functions run on Riak nodes. Map nodes are even run on the node where
the data is already located.
This means a few things to you:
- If you use the {modfun, Module, Function} form of the FunTerm in the
map/reduce step definition, that Module must be in the code path of
the Riak node. This isn't a huge concern for libraries that ship
with Erlang, but for any of your custom code, you'll need to make
sure it's loadable.
The easiest way to get your custom modules in the code path of a
Riak node is to symlink your application from riak's "deps"
directory. The node start script (start-fresh.sh, start-join.sh,
etc.) automatically adds deps/*/ebin to the code path.
- If you use the {modfun, Module, Function} form of the FunTerm in the
map/reduce step definition, you'll need to force the Riak nodes to
reload the Module if you make a change to it.
The easiest way to reload a module on a Riak node is to get a Riak
client, then call Client:reload_all(Module).
- If you need to do a Riak 'get' inside of a map or reduce function,
you can use riak:local_client/0 to get a Riak client instead of
riak:client_connect/3. The code is already running on a connected
node -- there's no need to go through the doorbell/connect
- Your map and reduce functions are running on a Riak node, which
means that that Riak node is spending CPU time doing something other
than responding to 'get' and 'put' requests.
- If you use the {qfun, Fun} form, your callable function, and its
environment will be shipped to the Riak cluster, and each node on
which it runs. This is both a benefit (in that you have the full
power of closures) and a danger (in that you must be mindful of
closing over very large data structures).

Early life
Megan, possibly related to Hestia, Peter and Gwenog Jones, came to be educated in the magic arts at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry with Albus Dumbledore as Headmaster. She boarded the Hogwarts Express and continued from Hogsmeade Station to the school via the enchanted boats. Megan and her classmates were alerted to the general rules and House system by Minerva McGonagall in the Entrance Hall Antechamber. They proceeded to the Great Hall where the Sorting ceremony was held. In alphabetical order of last name, the Sorting Hat placed each student into either Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw or Slytherin. Megan was called up after Wayne Hopkins and Sorted into Hufflepuff House with Pomona Sprout, the Herbology Professor, as her Head of House. She shared a dormitory in the Hufflepuff Basement with Hannah Abbott, Susan Bones and Leanne.

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
I'd say Sasuke is faster. But Kakashi is definitely sneakier. He's one sneaky ninja!

kakashi gets this bcoz we saw in manga that kakashi was rnning along 6th gate guy
so u think sasuke can compete 6th gate guy

We Forget about Sasuke's Speed itself
Cuz what we usually do is Compare Sasuke to Such top drawer Ninjas Like the ones i have mentioned
and as a result Sasuke's Speed is not a Trump card anymore
As for Kakashi - Sasuke is Faster
Kakashi's Stamina sucks balls . He will be Panting all over the place after two fast steps in Taijutsu
oh really ?2 steps
for ur information kakashi can open 2 gates in tai
sasuke cant do it too.now u have saw his stamina
what about that race btw guy and kakashi

Naruto manga 423 page 7 and continue where he called choji and his father "too slow". later on the same 423 manga, he was feared of kakashi movement not to get close to him.
Gai lost to kakashi in a foot race.

1.that foot race wasnt canon lol. It never happened in the manga
2.Pain was just being cautious because Kakashi is a strong ninja compared to the other fodder ,NOT because his speed .
3.LOL everyone is faster than the Akamichi clan
what's the point of this kind of thread when there is not a poll !!!
so there is no result in this

He also was able to defeat 100s of Oto-nin without getting a scratch or drop of blood on him. And in the North Hideout he destroyed many CM2 ninjas using purely his speed and kenjutsu.
Kakashi's speed is underrated too, but Sasuke is simply better.
Well That's True .. But Don't You Remember ln The Land Of lron When Kakashi Appeared Of Nowhere On Tobi Side With A Raikiri?

I dont need to prove it, because other people have done that for me, and if u still need more proof, go see my previous post on an earlier page it said something about kakashi and sasuke having the same speed in the third databook, but kakashi has faster seals
Originally Posted by Encon Uchiha

Lol dude, no need to take this so seriously; i just pointed out that there was no real proof in the comment and i made a joke. Seriously and instead of the manga pages (since trying to insert them while using an ipad takes forever) why dont i just say that their speeds are equal in the databook (wiki it if you dont believe me), but kakashi has shown to have much faster hand seals, and since speed is about more than just how fast one gets from A to B, i say that Kakashi is faster.
If snyone, Kakashi. But I dont think it matters who
gai's rival ofcourse, how else would kakashi be competing in a speed run (not the crappy one that happened in anime) with gai
I'd say sasuke because he was able to fight the raikage and was able to land an attack and dodge the raikages attack with normal sharingan. However, this is assuming that raikage was moving at a speed similar to what he was moving at when he was fighting naruto

Raikage did not go V1 when fighting Naruto and when Sasuke did his stuff he was fighting V1.
It's funny, Sasuke used to be among the fastest of his generation. I guess you could say he still is seeing as the majority of his generation has become fodder. I'm saying Sasuke just because of how obvious his speed feats were, (aknowledged by Yamato's team, deidara, etc.)
Sucks that it doesnt matter how fast he is anymore, he's gonna sit in Susano'o for the remainder of the series and cry it out.
Kakashi is faster...
If base on their sharinggan powers, kakashi is faster, kakashi counter sasuke's susanoo attack by his kamui. .
good question and a difficult one to choose
i would go with sasuke but i am not that much sure about it
may be kakashi as he have kamui too
Originally Posted by AngryRock

Kakashi and Itachi can dodge it too, no problem for them to dodge it. People with sharingan and have some skills will dodge it, even Shisui too.
Theres no question Kakashi is one of the fastest living shinobi when it comes to weaving ninjutsu signs so hand speed = Overall Speed? And I dont know why everyone hypes up sasuke! He has not faced a single high level ninja alone in the entire series except for the clay ninja obsessed with his art explosives cant think of his name grr brain fart and a lil bit of lighting style and that guy is handled. Kakashi is a beast people he is proven those early fights with naruto before he had sage mode prove nothing about sasuke! Until sasuke defeats somebody 1v1 KAKASHI SENSEI > SASUKE !

Solomon, I have to admit that most of what you say here is accurate.
Sometimes i wonder if larry/johnny isn't an agent of Satan trying to draw us into his evil web.
larry has searched through years of posts to attack me. He has taken so many things I've said and twisted them to appear to say something quite different.
He has taken my confessions of past transgressions and used them over and over against me.
I've made him swear to God when I know he has lied and he went ahead and swore.
He and his alter ego johnny have mocked the Lord over and over again while posing as Christians and accusing me of terrible things including questioning my faith.
He has yanked my chain and drawn me into saying very un-Christian things in the past which I deeply regret.
johnny/larry may actually believe he is a Christian but he is certainly doing Satan's work on here.
Don't let him bait you into getting the boot on here, Solomon. You are a valued member.

Installing Chassis Torque Boxes - Boxing MatchWritten by on January 1, 2005 Auto Rust Technicians' N Torque Box Install
When Chrysler sent a car down the line to be built as a high-performance machine, there was more in store for that unit than simply bolting in the high-performance hardware. High output engines and suspension underpinnings added to the stress the unibody chassis would endure, and Chrysler was vigilant in adding beef to the basic structure. The beef in this case took the form of chassis reinforcement plates at the front and rear longitudinal (framerail) structure. The reinforcement plates were known as torque boxes, so called due to the added torque load capacity and torsional rigidity they imparted to the basic body structure. Essentially, the torque boxes were formed gussets. The front reinforcement ties the forward longitudinal rail to the rocker panel, boxing in the two main load-bearing members of the unibody structure. At the rear, the chassis longitudinal rail sprouts from the rear floorpan, just forward of the front leaf-spring mounting point. As with the front, the strategic addition of a torque-box reinforcement plate here substantially increased the structural strength of this highly loaded area. Factory torque boxes were routinely used in 440 and Hemi applications, as well as on convertibles.
Auto Rust Technicians is a company that started over 25 years ago specializing in major rust repair. With structural chassis replacement or repair members being virtually unobtainable for Mopar unibodies, Auto Rust Technicians began to manufacture and market their own repair components. Along with their Safe-T-Cap line of repair components, we were intrigued to find they also manufactured prefabbed weld-in torque boxes similar to the factory units.
In our shop is a '70 Barracuda we are building, with plans for extensive modifications for all-around street performance. Originally a 318 car, the body structure was never fitted with the heavy-duty reinforcements found on its more muscular brethren. The torque boxes from Auto Rust Technicians seemed to be the perfect upgrade to our application. We found the pieces nicely designed, and the installation to be relatively simple. Here's what it took to get them in.

Sumptuous sheetmetal-at least there's still one good thing about living in California. This '70 'Cuda project car's body needed minimal repair, but we planned on upgrading the structure. The torque boxes (shown circled) are a step in the right direction.These are a set of original torque boxes on an unrestored '70 'Cuda. The factory units were roughly installed.Our car had been essentially stripped to a rolling shell for bodywork and resto; we mounted it onto a rotisserie for the underchassis work. The rear axle and suspension were removed, taking our E-body down to a bare body. The rear spring's front hanger bolts through the chassis on a cantilevered bracket, not the strongest setup for a high-powered application. Adding the torque boxes literally boxes this area in, soundly tying the chassis together.We began by trial fitting the rear torque box. First, the fluid lines that run adjacent to the rockers at both sides of the car were removed, clearing the area to be modified.The prefabbed torque box conformed well to the chassis. The key to a successful installation is to have a close and tight fit to the original body structure. We marked where some minor adjustments were required, and outlined the perimeter of the plate to mark the area that will need to be prepped for welding.There are minor variations in every car body. For a perfect fit on our 'Cuda, just some minor profiling was done with a belt sander to match the contour of the floorpan.The plate was positioned and tacked in with a MIG welder. As it was tacked, each edge was brought down tightly into position, either by clamping where possible, or striking the piece with a mallet to make it conform exactly to the body.
The front torque boxes connect the front framerails to the rocker panels and floorpan, just behind the front wheelwell. The original front apron on our car had sustained a minor impact and had broken loose of its spotwelds. Since the torque boxes will weld to this apron, we needed to make repairs before proceeding.Plug-welding is the most appropriate technique for MIG repairs of panels that were originally spot-welded, usually where two panels overlap. To prep for a plug-weld, the top panel is drilled through, exposing the panel beneath.To finish a plug-weld, start the arc dead center of the lower panel, and then fill quickly in a circular motion to fill the drilled upper panel. The finished result will closely mimic a factory spot-weld.

December 2004
by Lt. Gen. Lawrence P. Farrell, Jr., USAF (Ret)
At a time of great stress for our nation's armed forces, it is worth reaffirming the need for industry leaders to engage in a meaningful discussion on the impact of the recent procurement scandals and to figure out how best to move forward.
As our military services continue to fight extended wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and other troubled spots, the defense industry cannot afford to be discredited, even by the appearance of impropriety. The stakes are high for industry and even higher for those whom we serve, the war fighters.
With respect to the latest ethics-related events, the industry needs to come to grips with what went wrong and, joining with government, reclaim the ethical high ground.
NDIA believes that the best way for the industry to regain and bolster credibility is to assert the principles of "self-policing," when it comes to business ethics. As many experts have observed, no amount of outside scrutiny or independent investigations can make up for the lack of self-governance in a corporation and industry.
Our readers may recall I made similar points in previous columns, when I raised the issue of business ethics in the early days of the Bush administration's defense buildup for the war against terrorism.
At the time I cautioned that the industry had to be careful about not repeating the excesses of the 1980s.
Unfortunately, the Air Force tanker probe illustrates how a business ethics issue not only tarnishes the reputation of the industry but also can compromise a service's ability to acquire a much needed weapon system.
In light of a now-widening probe over tainted Air Force contracts, we cannot forget that, no matter what inappropriate actions were conducted in the process of negotiating a tanker contract, the fact remains that the Air Force still has a need to upgrade its aging tanker fleet. We need to be able to talk about the requirement for new tankers, but in today's environment, any discussions of tankers are inextricable from the ethics issue—making it almost impossible to debate the subject solely on the basis of its merits.
Not only have these unfortunate developments jeopardized the service's ability to acquire needed equipment, but they also might stand in the way of senior military officers' promotions and assignments, causing disruptions in the military command structure. The tanker issue, meanwhile, has prompted the Army to commission a study to the Institute for Defense Analyses on how the service should deal with industry. The study, reported the Wall Street Journal, concluded that the "Army should adopt a policy of 'Trust but Verify.'"
Trust is a critical element that cannot be underestimated. It is at the core of a new ethics business code that NDIA unveiled last month, with the guidance of our Board of Directors. A special committee assigned by the board has been working actively on this issue since 2001.
NDIA believes that the defense industry can tackle the need for ethical self-governance.
The association's Ethics Committee has developed a benchmark statement of industry ethics for companies to incorporate into their day-to-day business.
Joe Reeder, chairman of the NDIA Ethics Committee, noted that, "if defense industry members don't put ethical behavior on an at least equal priority footing as the profit motive, the consequence, at least in the context of providing material and services to men and women in uniform, can literally be fatal. Anytime we deliver to war fighters anything less in quality than is specified by contract, we never know who is put at risk. For this reason alone, highest 'ethical readiness' must be a corporate imperative."
The code set forth by NDIA introduces some unique provisions designed to promote self-governance as the first line of defense. First, the chief ethical officer of the firm always should be the firm's chief executive officer, who sets the tone for conduct throughout the corporation. Second, it must be made clear, in everything the company does (board meetings, off-site strategy sessions, conspicuous postings, periodic training and scheduled time devoted by senior management) that ethics, as a corporate value, stands on par with profits.
As Reeder points out, we also have strived for simplicity in this code. The more complicated the rules of corporate conduct, the less likely they will be read and honored.
We are hopeful that every one of our 1,100 NDIA member companies will accept and endorse the code, which is intended to place the defense industry at the forefront of business ethics in America.
The stakes are high. After all, entrusted to our care are the lives of service members who bear the ultimate risk for their country to provide security to their fellow citizens. As the code indicates, "our common ethical mandate is a higher imperative than our individual business interests." This statement of ethics is intended to capture that mandate by setting forth common ethical principles and emphasizing particular practices that NDIA members should follow. You will be hearing more about this code in weeks to come as we ask our member companies to endorse this Statement Of Defense Industry Ethics.
The complete text of NDIA's statement of defense industry ethics can be found on our website, at: http://www.nationaldefensemagazine.org/issues/2004/dec/EthicalReadiness.htm.

Snake River
Upper Snake River flowing along lateral glacial moraine. @ C.Michael Hogan
The Snake River is one of the major watercourses in the western USA, with headwaters rising in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, ultimately discharging to the Columbia River. The catchment area of the Snake River and its tributaries span portions of seven states, encompassing an area of 278,450 square kilometers.
One of the main conservation and water quality issues is reversing the agricultural diversions of the Snake, which actions would correspondingly reduce agricultural runoff of nitrate, herbicides and pesticides; other desirable conservation issues would be removal of hydroelectric dams, which inundate habitat and interfere with fish migration.
Source: USGS/ modified for Wikimedia Commons
The Snake River discharges to the Columbia River with a mean flow of approximately 1500 cubic meters per second, at its discharge in the state of Washington. Chief tributaries of the Snake River are Salt River, Gros Ventre River, Portneuf River, Owyhee River, Malheur River, Powder River, Wood River, Grande Ronde River, Henrys Fork, Malad River, Boise River, Payette River, Salmon River, Clearwater River and the Palouse River
Wild bison grazing on the Snake River Plain, Wyoming. @ C.Michael Hogan
From Jackson Lake to King Hill the Snake River travels about 810 kilometers, with an average gradient of slightly less than two percent. Surface water as well as groundwater exits the eastern plain of the upper Snake basin via the Snake River channel. Surface streamflow from six tributaries north of the Snake River Plain fails to reach the Snake River, but is lost via evapotranspiration and infiltration to groundwater underlying the Plain. Approximately 4.8 million acre-feet of water per year enters Idaho through the Snake River surface flow, with around 7.9 million acre-feet per annum exiting the Snake at King Hill.
In the irrigation season, the majority of the Snake's volumetric flow upstream from Twin Falls is diverted for agricultural irrigation. Before irrigation commenced around 1900, two-thirds of the groundwater recharge to the eastern Snake River Plain was attributed to drainage basins tributary to the plain. However, by 1980, two-thirds of the groundwater recharge came from percolation of excess surface water diverted for irrigation, twenty percent came from tributary drainage basins, and about 13 perecent from precipitation on the plain.
A remarkable occurrence is found in the headwaters reach, where Two Ocean Creek actually splits at the Continental Divide in a relatively level marshy area; a pond is formed which simultaneously discharges to Atlantic Creek that flows east and into Pacific Creek that eventually reaches the Snake and hence the Pacific Ocean.
Water quality
Some of the principal water quality issues of the Snake River derive from agricultural runoff, including sedimentation, nitrate, phosphate, herbicide and pesticide substances. For example, in the Snake River plain of southern Idaho and eastern Oregon, more than three million acres of agricultural lands are irrigated, resulting in annual sediment loss of ten to 100 megagrams of sediment loss per hectare, due to the erodible silty soils.
Nitrates in the Upper Snake Basin are 70 to 80 percent attributable to agricultural return flow, via initial infiltration to groundwater. Greatest impacts to nitrate concentrations are from rill-irrigated row crops, as distinguished from drip or sprinkler type irrigation; correstpondingly sediment loads are much higher from rill-irrigation.
Aquatic biota
The endemic Cottus leiopomus. found in the upper Snake River. A number of fish species having very limited distributions are found in the Snake River Basin. For example, the Snake River sucker (Chasmistes muriei), is known only to a restricted reach of the Snake River below Lake Jackson, Wyoming; however, this fish is deemed to have become extinct by the year 1986. The endemic Wood River sculpin (Cottus leiopomus) occurs only in the Wood River and in a section of the Snake River near the Wood River confluence.
Shoshone Falls is thought to have formed in the time period 60,000 to 30,000 years before present. These falls presently form an absolute barrier to fish migration; moreover, the Shoshone Falls have formed a biological migration barrier for sufficiently long that only about 35 percent of the fish fauna above these falls with fish taxa of the lower Snake.
Early 1890s surveys from the upper Snake basin indicate the following historically abundant fish species: Utah sucker (Catostomus ardens), silver-sided minnow (leuciscus hydrophlox), longnose dace (Rhinichthys dulcis) and Utah chub (Gila atraria).
Terrestrial ecosytems
The Snake River traverses a number of ecoregions, chiefly:
Source: World Wildlife Fund
Snake-Columbia scrub steppe - An endemic forb on the sagebrush steppe of the Snake River Plain is Lepidium papilliferum, a rare ephemeral species that is found in Lepidium (slickspot) microhabitats, and is threatened by overgrazing and trampling by domesticated livestock.
Palouse grasslands - have been mostly destroyed and degraded by overgrazing and by historic agricultural land conversion. The Palouse historically resembled the mixed-grass vegetation of the central grasslands, except for the absence of short grasses. Such species as Agropyron spicatum, Festuca idahoensis, and Elymus condensatus, and the associated species Poa scabrella, Koeleria cristata, Elymus sitanion, Stipa comata, and Agropyron smithii originally dominated the Palouse prairie grassland.
North Central Rockies forests - have a number of notable populations of large carnivores, including wolves (Canis lupus), grizzly bears (Ursus arctos), and wolverines (Gulo luscus). There are also populations of rare woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus ssp. caribou), the only caribou to live in areas of deep snow. Other wildlife include: black bear (Ursus americanus), mountain goat (Oreamnos americanus), grouse (Dendragapus spp.), waterfowl, black and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus and O. virginianus), and moose (Alces alces). In the southeast, marten (Martes ameriana) and bobcat (Lynx rufus) occur.
South Central Rockies forests - have considerable intact habitat units including much of Yellowstone National Park, Grand Tetons, Frank Church Wilderness, central Idaho; Lemhi and Lost River Ranges, eastern Idaho; the Beaverhead, southwestern Montana;Anaconda-Pintler, southwestern Montana; Pioneer, southwestern Montana; Tobacco Root, southwestern Montana; Snowcrest, southwestern Montana; Centennial, southwestern Montana; and the Madison Ranges, southwestern Montana.
Montana Valley and Foothill grasslandsLooking south along the Snake with Tetons in background. @ Ansel Adams 1942
Early explorers and fur traders recorded two main prehistoric centers on the Snake river Plain in the early 1800s: the vicinity of Camas Prairie, and along the lower reaches of the Weiser and Payette rivers. These sites functioned as elements of a continental network, where commodities, manufactured goods, and environmental information were exchanged. They also served as a locus for dancing, gambling, tribal intermarriage and other social activities.
The Weiser sites were active as early as 2500 years BC, featuring obsidian trading along a Blue Mountain north-south trading axis stretching from Timber Butte in southeast Idaho north to the Clearwater River and even to the Pacific Ocean, via the Columbia Plateau, while Ollivella shell beads were also traded.
The Fremont Culture in southern Idaho is evinced by diagnostic artifacts, such as pottery, basketry and arrow-points. Shoshone Ware was found to be too broad a pottery type for the Snake River Plain here. Instead Southern Idaho Plain pottery has become recognized here to denote a finely made pottery, distinct from the classic thick-walled, flat-bottomed vessels usually called Shoshone Ware.

The Midvale Complex was first defined based on archaeological digs conducted at a sites near Midvale. The sites display a suite of activities including basalt quarrying for stone tool production, hunting, and root and seed processing. The Midvale Complex assemblage contains Bitterroot large side-notched arrow-points, Cascade arrow-points, leaf-shaped arrow-points, scrapers, choppers, edge-ground cobbles, elongate scrapers, and a gamut of unifacial and bifacial blanks or roughouts. Manos, pestles, milling stones, mortars, gravers, drills and pitted pebbles were also found, dating to 2500 BC to the time of Christ.
The corresponding assemblage has been documented at a host of sites throughout east Oregon and southwest Idaho. The distribution of the Midvale Complex includes most of the Blue Mountains region in eastern Oregon, Hells Canyon along the Idaho-Oregon border and much of southeast Idaho. The temporal span of this complex appears focused between 2500 to 500 years BC. The Midvale Complex has been linked to the Western Idaho Archaic Burial Complex found in southeastern Idaho. The Midvale Complex demarcates the convergence, by 2500 BC, of a subsistence lifestyle focused on regional trading. Its attributes are the cotemporaneous appearance of sizable pithouses, an array of highly stylized point types, diversification of ground stone tools, and burial grounds containing elaborate interments with rich burial furniture, a pattern noted for much of the Columbia Plateau. This complex is associated not only with enhanced residential sedentism and intensified exploitation of root-crops and salmon.
The explorer David Thompson was the first to note the Native American appellation for the Snake River as the Shawpatin as he arrived at the discharge location to the Columbia River in the year 1800.
