Skip to comments.Winches: Are They Necessary?
Posted on 08/11/2006 1:59:35 AM PDT by Einigkeit_Recht_Freiheit
By Mick Farmer. A while ago I wrote an article on winches and asked the question as to their viability. In the article, I discussed that unless you were a complete 4wd nutter like myself or working / living in an environment where you are likely to get stuck on a near daily basis then -- pretty much a waste of money. One piece of equipment that is, in my opinion, invaluable is the high-lift jack. There are various makes including "hi-lift", "jack-all", and "black rat" but they all do much the same thing; only some have a higher safe working load than others. This is important to take into consideration if you are driving a heavy 100 series Landcruiser. The good thing about the jack is, not just it's capability of lifting the vehicle high off the ground, but also to be used as a winch, splitting logs and clamping together timber or other material.
In other words, you can use it for more than one task and this can save valuable loading space in your vehicle when planning to go on a long safari. Useful, but dangerous if operated incorrectly! I have heard horror stories of eyes, teeth and digits being lost and operators knocked unconscious because of a "misunderstanding" of how much force is on the jack handle as it is being released. Hi-Lift have their user manual available online.
Safety is the key (as with all recovery equipment). When lifting your vehicle off the ground, you are making it unstable, so generally the jack should only be used in this configuration for recovery when stuck in ruts or soft ground where you need to put some material under the wheels to clear the diff casing / leave springs. Also, unless you have approved jacking points on the vehicle that can accept the jack safely, then it should not be used to change a flat tyre.
For instance, you can buy an adaptor to fit the jack so that it goes into the jacking point on a Land Rover. With other models such as Toyotas you may be looking at having a new bumper / bull bar fitted that has the jacking points incorporated. An example of this would be the TJM bars. These have a T section cut in them that are designed to take a high lift. Don't rely solely on a bit of angle iron welded to the chassis (as they do here). This might be good enough to help lift the vehicle but it does not make it stable enough to change a wheel. When using the jack on soft ground it is advisable to use a base to spread the weight.
You can buy the neoprene ones or you can go and get yourself a good chunk of hardwood from Ndeeba (less expensive, can be used for other things and takes more abuse). If you are a first time user then I would suggest that you learn how to use it correctly before you get stuck. Do some dry runs to familiarise yourself with how it works in a safe environment. This will enable you to get a feel of the tension on the handle as the jack is being released. You could also enrol in a course on how to use it. There is one place in Uganda but the name escapes me for now ...
For use as a hand winch, you will need to buy a few extras to go along with it. You can buy complete kits, which cover all bases and are well worth the investment as the contents can also be used for other things as well. Depending on what size jack you buy, either 4 or 5 foot will depend on the amount of pull you get on the first try. Generally, in my experience, two 3 ft pulls backwards will generally get you out. Again, read the manual (preferably take a course), do some dry runs with the equipment first and don't forget to use the gloves supplied in the kit. Think safety first!

He uses the phrase " 4wd nutter like myself" and "hi-lift", "jack-all" and many many more.
And to top it all off, the article is actually somewhat informative. Enjoy.
Thanks pookie!
As in "barge comes equipped with a heavy-duty deck wench..."
No, I don't think it was accidental, most of the time.
I used to work in ad production for a newspaper. Truck Dealership submitted an ad description for:
1 Ton Truck with Wench.
Funny, I used to work on the singles section of a newspaper and once got an add submitted that said: 1 ton wench with a truck.
LOL! The classic "Aw, ****" moment!
Hope it was a Two Ton Truck..
Lol... whatta buncha idiots!
I used the winch on my fine tone Polaris Sportsman 500 ATV twice this summer to pull myself out of tight spots I managed to get wedged into. The damned ATV weighs too much to lift it up and out.
Details? Pictures?
I thought the pulled car was going to reverse into the pulling truck once the tires caught (note the reverse lights).
Not that I've ever seen that happen.
"unless you were a complete 4wd nutter like myself or working / living in an environment where you are likely to get stuck on a near daily basis"
I have winches on two of my vehicles and think the writer is a moron. If he gets stuck more than a couple of times a year and uses that crappy highlift jack to get himself out, he is a "nutter" and he can't drive worth sh!t. Anyplace my vehicles get stuck, you couldn't get me out with a highlift jack unless you were willing to go up and down like 30 times. I'd like to see him using that jack in 18 inches of wet clay. Use the winch. and these days, you can wind it with 150 feet of Amsteel Blue (synthetic cable) that only weighs about 10 lbs. The typical recovery winch comes with a remote control and costs less than $1k.
Here's the "Hi-Lift" tm jack. A most versatile tool residing in the back of my 4x4 F-150.
And like Dirty Harry's .44 magnum, "it will plumb take your head off", if one's middle name is stupid.
Thanks. I didn't really have that great of an idea exactly what he was talking about. Although I really am not sure I would want to use something like that to get a truck out of mud.
I better go ask my
winch ......wife
FYI on its use. Also google Hi-Lift jack to see what serious off-roaders have to say about it. Of course you need chains or wire cable to use it as a manual winch. Note the hook eye at the top of the jack.
Thanks for posting the article.
I wonder if those are still made in Bloomfield, IN? Here is flyover country, we used to call them "Bloomfield jacks."
They almost work better as a winch or fence stretcher than they do as a jack. You are definitely correct, anything jacked up to any height above shin high on one of those is like a loaded gun. It's not "when it's gonna fall", it's "what's in gonna land on."

For jack use, the big baseplate is absolutely necessary. I hated digging it out before I learned that. ;>)

There is a little piece of midwest Americana manufacturing that has survived. I bet there is about 20 or so Skoal chewin', Budweiser drinkin', non-union, gun totin', Diesel pickup drivin' rednecks punching the clock in that factory.
Think they are hiring?! :)
Yea, A highlift jack is a great tool to change a tire on a vehicle with a lift kit. Other than that, its decor.
Where would Hogwarts be without winches!
Had a first year Contracts professor who made the same mistake while regaling the class with tales of his prior work representing Toyota.
He saw me grinning at his error, realized what he'd said, and bust out laughing.
They work great in snow to get the tires to where you can get the chains on (do NOT get beneath the vehicle without additional support). I have even used one to repair a hurricane damaged seawall (jacked the lower stringers back into place). They are a versatile tool for the imaginative, but keeping them clean is a must if you want it to work right--(or have a small hammer handy).
We call those a "hurt me jack".
Why are you pinging me? I posted it.
What is the "P" in IB4TP?
"Ping" -- it is used mostly by the DUmmie FUnnies crowd ;)
I think you are not quite getting the humor here :)
I suggest you upgrade to the F-250 4x4 and put BF Goodrich's on it. It's a tank. Each tire weighs 200 pounds. If you get stuck in that, maybe it's time to think about where you are going before you get there? I like to rip up the desert near Mojave once in a while and target practice away from civilization. It's far too quiet out there:)
Lol, I hear 'ya! I thought the strap was going to break and someone was going to get whacked on the head with a buckle.
The funniest thing about that video is that if just one of those lazy bums had just picked up a snow shovel, he would have had the car out that snowbank in five minutes.
Not only that, but it looks like the driver got stuck (originally) because he chose to "ram" his way out of the driveway instead of following the "track."
That's Mahoney, but the other is Knucklehead Smiff.
Mortimer Snerd was the son of Edger Bergan and the brother of actress Candice Bergan.
Ohhhh.... Winches....
I kid.... I kid....
Definetly. Many winches on the front of trucks and Jeeps cleared roads throughout the South after the 2004, 2005 hurricane season.
I have simply got to cut down on the OT.
I missed this thread by almost 2 full days!
A Hoist Roll-Off Truck needs a winch. As a matter of fact, this is the best system for loading and hauling construction waste boxes. I guess whether you need a winch or not depends on your mileage. I only state my specific use because of my many years in the trash business. Winches are necessary, EVEN MY WIFE. ;-)
Those winches are very attractive. Do you have a larger photo of the wenches?
Never mind.
Oh, that type of winch.
I have a Sportsman 500 too.I sunk mine in a mudhole to the fenders.I was luckey I had enough cable on my winch to reach the closest tree straight ahead[about 30 some feet].The damn things so heavy,it just kept sinking deeper.Sooner or later,I'm going to put a winch on the rear too.I was in the middle of a swamp by myself,I'd been screwed without one.
Wenches may not be necessary, but they are more fun to be with in the evening than guys.
Thanks for the correction...that's what I meant, but the correct name slipped my mind.
"We call those a "hurt me jack"."
I've heard them called Widow Makers too.

Mayweather's Jail Term is Described By Detention Official
By Pawel Pronishev
On Wednesday at Clark County Supreme Court, the boxing world got a shot in the arm when WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. was given a 90 day jail sentence The boxer received a six month term, with 90 days of the sentence being suspended, after pleading guilty to misdemeanor battery domestic violence and harassment. The charges are connected to a physical confrontation with the mother of his three children, Josie Harris, which took place in September 2010. The judge ordered Mayweather to surrender on January 6th to begin his term at the Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas.
Officer Bill Cassell told an NBC news affiliate in Nevada, that Mayweather will probably be segregated for his protection from the other 3,400 prisoners, at least for the first week. Mayweather will get a standard-issue blue jail jumpsuit with the letters CCDC and orange slippers.
He'll be held in a standard administrative segregation cell, about 6-by-10 feet, or "about the size of a small walk-in closet," Cassell said. Cells have a bunk, stainless steel toilet and sink, a concrete desk with a permanently bolted stool and two small vertical windows.
Cassell said Mayweather will be able to deposit any amount of money into a jail account to purchase snacks, candy, soap and personal hygiene items from the jail commissary. Reading glasses, which cost $7, is the most expensive item available.
During his first week in jail, Mayweather would have about an hour a day out of his cell with access to an exercise yard. Depending on his behavior, Mayweather could later get several hours a day for exercise with other inmates also being held in protective custody.
Good behavior and work time could knock up to 30 days off Mayweather's sentence, Cassell said. That would give Mayweather an early March release date.

Hi again! You know, this is not fair! I just saw your stories for the new contest starting saturday and don't know which one to pick. I'm between the "new mommy" and "Herman and his teddy bear". Could I vote for both? Please ^_^ with sugar on top? 03-18-2014
Vivien Wass
Briggitte, hello from Newfoundland, Canada! I'm sure you're right about the "teams". I've been encouraging people here to vote for LAPS, as our own group was just too small to get anywhere. I was so hoping that LAPS would win this time, but at least they'll get 2nd prize. Blind Cat Rescue, which is in 1st place, is a wonderful group too, and I'm sure will use their prize money well. 03-09-2014
Ms. Vivien, I think it is sort of "teaming up" what is going on. Same as here where several canadian shelters are voting for one, so do the americans. It's not your "fault" and I'm sure you wll get some good price too. Greetings from Italy! 03-06-2014
Vivien Wass
I've noticed that LAPS is falling further behind. Just wondering if there's anything we can do to increase votes. Has anyone contacted the other Canadian groups to ask for their support? I'd love to see you guys win this. 03-02-2014

LIttle Mittens TEAM LAPS had already decided that if you had story that made the finals in the contest that we would most certainly put our power of the paw votes towards helping you win.

Hi Langley friends! Sorry if I confused anyone. The story contest voting starts tomorrow Saturday Feb. 8th-16th. Our story is called HOW TO GET YOUR MOJO BACK. We are so grateful for your support.

Just wanted to let you know that supporters of Heavenly Creatures in St. John's are now voting for LAPS. There was no way we could win in the Canadian provinces contest, as you are so far ahead, so I asked our members to switch to your group. We'd love to see a Canadian rescue win the grand prize. Good luck! 02-04-2014

Janice and Karen, I don't see any way to vote, and I tried in 3 different browsers just in case Firefox was playing up. I wonder if we have to wait until all the stories are in? Karen, thank you and everyone from Little Mittens for helping LAPS. 01-30-2014

Hi Karen from Little Mittens, when I search your shelter It shows I've already voted today (for LAPS). I cannot seem to find a place to vote for you in the story contest. Any ideas :)? Thanks. Maybe a direct link? Thanks for helping our furry little babies :) 01-29-2014
Karen Wi...
Hi Langley friends! Karen from Little Mittens in Golden checking in. We have been voting faithfully for you in the overall category. Can you help us by voting for us in the story contest? I just posted our rescue story called "How to Get Your Mojo Back". It is a true and heartwarming story of how we reunited a cat that a family thought was gone forever with his family :). Thanks so much! 01-27-2014

Nash your nuts there is no inappropriate anything done to these kittens 01-18-2014
Thank you for your kind words, Cherie! Much appreciated! 01-10-2014

Those comments are just worthless garbage from someone who has nothing better to do with their time than be a "Troll"! Not really even worth the read or reaction!!! Excellent job LAPS and all who make the time and effort to help! 01-10-2014
@Becky..you should have seen the 8 orphans when they came into the Shelter...they were left in a field in freezing weather..so the one I was trying to get formula into could not suckle so I had to drip the milk into his mouth. The employees of LAPS took the babies home and fed them every 2 1/2 hours throughout the night even though they had worked a full shift that day; then they worked the following day as well and took them home again that night. Exceptional, kind people!! 12-22-2013
Thank you for your kind words, Becky! I'm a volunteer at LAPS and love the way they are with the animals. So kind, dedicated and every animal is treated as if it is their own. Extremely well operated organization where the animals health and welfare come first. I'm very proud to be a member! 12-22-2013
Becky Fi...
I am not from your area. I love in North NJ but I have joined your f/b page and have signed in to your live stream. I truly LOVE the way the animals are kept. They look happy and very healthy. I am so inlove with Timber the mommy German Shepard who had 2 litters of her own and adopted 8 others from a different breed. The way your shelter is caring for them is astonishing! I truly enjoy watching them. It excites and makes me smile each time I do. I voted for LAPS and pray for you all! <3God bless 12-18-2013
Deborah ...
I am so glad to hear that LAPS is such a great place! Wish I could say the same for the one here. On FB, we have a page full of horrific stories & are working to get rid of the "powers that be" here. The page is "Stop the Humane Society of Fremont County". Would love the support! I wish that all shelters were as great as LAPS!!! Thanks so much for being there! 12-14-2013

Nash, you're either just a troll having your jollies, or you are just ignorant and don't know what you are talking about. Either way, you should be ashamed of yourself for making false, inflammatory statements against LAPS. 11-26-2013
Beth Tatum
Just a simple question Nash: What are you talking about-"inappropiate actions to infant animals", what does that even mean? I live in the US, but from watching the Kitty Cam from Shelley's house, I've seen nothing inappropiate, they all receive the best possible care I can imagine, especially this last group, the Jungle Kittens. They were very sick when brought in and have been nursed back to health with the utmost care and love. If you are trying to stir up trouble, go someplace else please. 11-20-2013
Brandy R...
I volunteer at LAPS and enjoy walking all the dogs.The staff and volunteers are a wonderful and caring group of people. This is the best shelter operation I have seen and full credit goes to Sean & Jayne for excellent management! I have never seen or heard of any "inappropriate actions" I think Nash has mistaken LAPS with some other shelter. 11-19-2013
Jackie M...
I've volunteered at shelters and when travelling can't help but visit them if they are nearby to see how they run things. LAPS is a fabulous clean and well organized shelter. They have enrichment activities for the animals in there and from what I see, amazing volunteers and staff. Our dog came from there - he has a medical issue but was given the same chance as any others, and the fact they use trainers to ensure the success of adoption is fantastic. The cat rooms are amazing, too. 11-19-2013
donna linke
I have been a volunteer at LAPS for over 9 years. The staff is wonderful! They obviously love all the cats and dogs and treat them with gentle caring. They often take the dogs and cats home and they take the dogs for hikes-all on their own time. I choose to go there most days-it is a happy place to be. 11-19-2013
Lisa Lam...
While I vote for LAPS it doesn't matter to me who wins because at the end of the day a shelter that needs money is going to get it and hundreds of animals will be saved and that's a win. Nash - Why resort to false claims and blasting a shelter you clearly have never been too and don't know? 11-19-2013
Stacey K...
LAPS is a fantastic organization that treats all of their animals with the utmost care and love. Good luck to LAPS in this challenge. Vote vote vote! They deserve it :-) 11-18-2013
@Nash..you have made a serious allegation against LAPS..the onus is on you to provide proof! So please provide this! If you are unable to do that, then remove your statement from this page asap! There can be serious consequence for false defamation! 11-18-2013
I am a volunteer for the Langley Animal Protection Society and this Shelter is of the highest quality!! I have witnessed this Shelter going to extremes to save the lives of animals, many of which would have been put down at other Shelters! There are over 300 loyal, dedicated volunteers at this Shelter that operates with high standards! Highly respected in the community! Nash Milani must belong to one of the lower quality Shelters and is trying to win by discrediting others!! Shame on you, Nash 11-18-2013
Zoeann P...
I cannot even imagine "inappropriate" actions to animals from anyone at this shelter! The shelter, the foster volunteers and the vet practices connected with this group are the most loving and selfless animal protectors I have ever seen. While everyone has a right to an opinion, I find it offensive that anyone would make such an unfounded comment. 11-17-2013
Tristan ...
I agree with you, Dawn. 11-16-2013
Dawn Foyles
really? I find everything that I've seen Shelly do for these kittens and Dr. F and LAPS for the JungleKitties just phenomenal. No 'inappropriate' actions whatsoever! I enjoy watching the cams and am hoping Shelly is feeling better soon so we can get our fix of the JungleKitties! 11-16-2013
Nash Milani
Though this shelter doesn't see wrong in it's inappropriate actions to infant animals, I'm sure it means well. 11-15-2013

Life is full of tough decisions. Do I go out with friends or stay home tonight? Do I choose the filet mignon or the lobster? One of life's other tough questions is: "With whom should I connect on LinkedIn?"
Whether you have joined LinkedIn.com (the largest professional social network in the world) or not, it is a mathematical certainty that you have received an email informing you of something like this: "John Smith has indicated you are a person they trust and wants to connect with you on LinkedIn."
So what do you do? Do you accept? Ignore it? Or do you click the button that says, "I do not know this person"? The answer depends on how you use LinkedIn.
Michael Droke, a partner at Dorsey & Whitney, best summed up one possible approach: "I don't connect with anybody that I don't want to spend an hour at dinner with," he said. "If someone wants to connect with me that I hardly know, I don't see the point. I want my LinkedIn network to be made up of all high-quality contacts."
Droke is not alone in his attitude — many lawyers are uncomfortable connecting to casual acquaintances on LinkedIn. I am much more open to meeting new people and expanding my LinkedIn network, as long as those connecting are in fields that complement my own.
The term that LinkedIn uses for people like me is "LinkedIn Open Networker," or LION. That isn't to say I won't click "ignore" when total strangers from foreign countries in random industries try to connect with me. But when I get a connections request, I ask myself the question: "How could this connection possibly be helpful to me or my clients?" If I can't think of anything, I hit "ignore." If I feel the connection request seems too much like spam — and perhaps came from certain countries with reputations for financial scams — I click "I do not know this person."
The difference is subtle, but makes a big difference. If someone has too many people click "I do not know this person," his account will be blacklisted and he will be barred from sending connection requests unless he already has the email addresses of the people he is trying to connect to.
Should you connect with competitors? That depends. Sometimes competitors are good friends and can refer business, but usually this is not the case. The general advice I give to lawyers is this: If they are competitors in the same geographic area, don't connect. If they are peers elsewhere, it probably doesn't hurt and could potentially lead to referral-sharing.
What if you have had dozens of LinkedIn requests, but you haven't done anything with them? Nothing happens to them. They just sit there. So it might be time to log in to LinkedIn and accept a few. Who knows — maybe someone trying to connect has some work to send your way. And while you're at it, you might want to reconsider that profile picture you had taken during the 1980s.

If you ask Florida State Head Coach Mike Martin what he loves about the game of baseball, one of the things he will tell you is every day you come to the ballpark there is a chance to see history made. That is exactly what happened on Sunday. Florida State came up one hit shy of setting an NCAA record when the Seminoles recorded 10 consecutive hits in a 15 run, 13 hit seventh inning. The 13 hits tied an NCAA record for the most hits in DI baseball history in a seventh inning and FSU tied a school record with 21 at bats in the frame. The record inning broke open what was a close game with Siena (0-9) as FSU went on to sweep the series with a 22-3 victory.
"I don't think I have ever been a part of an inning where guys were just...I think that is where the term was coined `hitting is contagious'," said catcher Buster Posey.
For the first time all season FSU trailed after a complete inning and the Seminoles were behind Siena 3-2 going into the bottom of the fifth. In the sixth inning the game was tied 3-3 but FSU scored 19 runs in the sixth and seventh to break open what was a very close game.
"That is the unpredictability of baseball right there," said Martin. "No errors and we ended up scoring 15 runs in one inning. It is a credit to our ball club. We did a good job of getting good pitches to hit. We didn't give away any at bats no matter what was going on. I am just very proud of the way we played.
"There was some outstanding plays made today by Siena. In the sixth inning it's a tied ballgame with two outs and nobody on. We end up getting four."
For the second day in a row a Saint starter did a good job of keeping the red hot Florida State bats somewhat in check. Craig Marcellus limited the Seminoles to three runs in five innings making the 22 runs scored a little bit of a surprise. The last time FSU scored more than 22 runs was May 21, 2004 at Wake Forest when the Seminoles scored 27 times. You have to go back to February 21, 1997 to find the last time Florida State had this many runs in a regular season home game. That year the Seminoles beat Marshall 22-1. The win pushed FSU's record to 17-0.
"I don't think this has really sunk in yet," said Buster Posey of the 17 straight wins to start the season. "It has never happened in the history of our program so it is special."
Seven Seminoles had multi-hit games and in one instance a multi-hit inning. Mark Gildea recorded two hits in the record seventh inning and drew a walk in his third at bat leaving the outfielder one hit shy of tying an NCAA record. Mark Hallberg led FSU with five RBIs in the game and Tony Thomas, Jr. had the biggest day overall going 4-for-5 with three doubles, one double shy of tying an FSU record.
"I don't know what is going on but I am just playing the game, trying to have fun with it," said Thomas of his start to the season where he finished the day with a team-best .527 average. "I am trying not to do too much with the ball, let the game come to me instead of jumping out at it.
"I didn't know I was near a record (for doubles in a game). I knew three doubles was quite a bit. I couldn't go out there and try to do something I normally wouldn't do. I tried to stay with my swing and hit a line drive somewhere."
For just the seventh time this season, the Seminoles gave up a run in the first inning as Sienna broke on top 1-0. Florida State had a chance to even the game in the bottom of the first but a play at the plate ended the inning as FSU opened a new frame trailing for the first time all season covering 144 innings.
After trailing for two innings, FSU evened the game in the third thanks to Thomas' second double of the day. The junior plated Ruairi O'Connor, who walked to start the inning. Hallberg then put FSU in front as his sacrifice fly brought in D'Vontrey Richardson who singled earlier in the inning.
Siena fought right back and took the lead back in the top of the fourth with two more runs. Florida State tied the game again in the fifth thanks to Hallberg's second RBI of the day. The junior singled in Brandon Reichert who had doubled.
In the bottom of the sixth Sienna reliever Andy Wells got himself into trouble with two outs. He walked Jason Stidham and then hit the next two batters to load the bases. A wild pitch brought Stidham home and then a walk loaded the bases for the second time in the inning. Thomas then recorded his career-high third double of the game plating two runs as the lead grew to 6-3. Ryan King, who relieved Wells, walked the bases loaded again and Posey's bunt single plated another run.
FSU broke the game wide open in a wild seventh inning. Ohmed Danesh's single up the middle plated Mark Gildea who led off the inning with a single. Thomas' fourth hit of the game, this one an infield single, made it 9-3. Hallberg doubled in two more runs as Florida State started to pull away from the Saints. Posey joined in on the action as he followed Hallberg's two-run double with a two-run double of his own. Gildea's infield single brought in the 14th run and set a new school record for 10 consecutive hits all of which came with no outs. The string was broken when Tommy Oravetz was hit by a Dan Miklas offering to load the bases up. Danesh then drove in his second run of the inning on a walk, which was followed by RBI singles off the bats of Travis Anderson and Devin Gonzalez. Another Siena walk brought in the 12th run of the inning followed by a Brady Thomas RBI single as the Seminoles scored 20 runs in a game for the first time since March 4, 2006 versus Brown. The Saints recorded the second out of the inning on a fielder's choice as the lead grew to 21-3. Another walk loaded the bases again and Oravetz then reached base for the third time in the inning as a walk plated the 15th run of the frame.
Florida State will return to action next weekend when Indiana comes to town for a three-game series. The first game is scheduled for a 6:00 p.m. Fans can follow all the action over the Internet. Gametracker will be available for the contest along with live radio broadcast courtesy of 1270 the TEAM.

Fall fever gives everyone the longing for a few new duds that can gets us through the remainder of the year. As the weather starts to cool down and the days get shorter, you need smart, adaptable pieces that are versatile, but not lacking in the style department. Get on board with fall's hottest trends and use them to elevate the staples that already exist in your wardrobe (it will be great to put that sheath dress, dark skinnies and cardigans to good use, no?).
Animal Print – Use it to amp up your dark basics and make it office-appropriate by pairing it with smart separates. This DKNY sweater ($145, net-a-porter.com) is great tucked into a high waist black skirt for work and with dark skinny jeans and flats on the weekend.
Statement Necklace – It's still all about the necklace. This season statement necklace (about $16, forever21.com) is hotter than ever and can add that extra zing to an all-black ensemble. Let it do the bulk of the styling by wearing it with a crewneck or scoop neck sweater, slim trousers and a basic pump.
Hardware – Wear it on your belt (about $7, forever21.com), bag or shoes; hardware is wear it's at. You choose silver or gold, and then sport the trend via studs and buckles, which add an instant cool factor to subtle pieces like a basic black dress and T-shirt and jeans. Use a hardware happy belt to cinch together a long cardigan over a tank or T-shirt for a clean, fashion-forward look.
Smoky Eyes – If you're going for one beauty trend this fall, let it be the smoky eye look. It's wearable, and with a little practice, pretty darn easy to pull off at a moment's notice. If you're a klutz with an eye pencil, reach for a super thin brush and cream liner (about $10, drugstore.com), which makes it easy to create a sultry look, even for those of us with a less-than-steady hand. Simply line and slightly smear for a stunning look that will make you look party-ready in a jiffy.
Neon – Get your DayGlo on with a basic piece ($44, shopbop.com) like a T-shirt in ultra bright neon. Anchor it with dark basics and once the dreary winter days roll around, let the hem peek out from beneath a textured sweater and jacket.

Byron Hurt: "I have long wanted to make a documentary about this subject but never felt courageous enough to address it. This is a sensitive and controversial topic. However, after I learned about the tragic death of Robert Champion (below) - the Florida A&M University band member who, in November 2011, was tragically killed by his fellow band members because of a traditional hazing ritual - I felt compelled to illuminate this issue in a documentary film."

I love espionage, legal, and detective thrillers but listen to most genres. Very frequent reviews. No plot spoilers! Please excuse my typos!
"The person most responsible for our republic"
I've read biographies of all of the most important founders of our republic including an earlier Hamilton biography. This book is the best. Having Scott Brick narrate it adds to the worthiness of this Hamilton biography.
Hamilton was a poor immigrant in his teens when he arrived in New York. He was born out of wedlock, abandoned by his father, watched his mother die while in his very early teens. He became well educated including becoming a lawyer. He was a colonel at age 20 and aide to General Washington during much of the war of American independence. He was short and slight of build, but his intellect was staggering in capability and diversity of knowledge. He learned each new task quickly and thoroughly. He did not write the US Constitution although he was key in its drafting and he deserves more credit than any other person for get it ratified by the states. His language, writing, and verbal communicating skills were at least as great as any other person who ever lived. He is personally responsible for our banking and monetary system. Among the founders there are likely 10 men who played the most important roles in the foundation; in my view Hamilton even more than Washington was the person played the most important role. He had the vision, the capabilities and the drive, and the honor, to do the many varied tasks that were critical.
Hamilton suffered from health issues that did little to slow him down. He was a proud man who did not take criticism well. He had a hot temper and often was intemperate in criticizing others, he was prone to depression, and when he made mistakes they were whoppers. Author Ron Chernow discusses three such huge errors. He started an affair with Mrs. Reynolds when his wife was pregnant with their fifth child and allowed himself to be blackmailed by her husband while a was our first Treasury Secretary. At age 49 in 1804 he had a duel with US VP Arron Burr that cost him his life and cost the US its leading intellectual and most capable leader and politician.
Hamilton left a huge amount of notes, letters, and other writings behind. His wife, Elizabeth (Liza) Schyler Hamilton, was the mother of their 8 children (their oldest child Philip died in a duel at age 19 two years before Hamilton's death). Liza outlived her husband by 50 years. She spent much of that time assuring that her husband's legacy did not die.
Alexander Hamilton is an excellent audiobook. At 36 hours it is rather long, but it was never boring.
"Always my favorite founder, well read"
I have always admired A.H., and empathized with him most closely of all the founding farthers. This is a well read and terrifically written biography. The perspective is very generous to him, and a little malicious on his rivals; however, balance is still maintained and the flawed but brilliant patriot shines through.
As an aside, my respect for the leadership capabilities of George Washington (often underated) are increased from this book. Once his leadership is missing the collective brillance of his team seems to wayne.
history buff
"Outstanding work of biography"
This is a breathtaking biography. Despite its length, my interest never flagged. The author keeps the pace going & the interest attracted to the various stories. He is very even-handed in his evaluation of Hamilton ... you see his great qualities & his weak ones, and their consequences. I liked the fact that the book did not tumble into psycho-biography, which might have been easy to do.
I write for myself, for my own pleasure. And I want to be left alone to do it. - Salinger ^(;,;)^
"A World Wide Enough for Hamilton and WE"
"I heal all wounds but those which love hath made."

I have read many political biographies in my 41 years, but few better. Chernow is able to walk that narrow, tricky trail between scholarship and narrative storytelling without tripping over hagiography. He presents the largeness and improbableness of Alexander Hamilton without leaving out Hamilton's excesses and flights of paranoia and inflexibility. I think Chernow gets it right that "If Washington was the father of the country and Madison the father of the Constitution, then Alexander Hamilton was surely the father of the American government." He was a man who was infused with genius and energy, but also often tone-deaf to the political realities of his time. He was a man who knew government but was often ungovernable himself.
His talents built the frameworks that would later create both our nation's economic, government and military capacity as well as the Federalist party, however, those same skills would also help to tear down the Federalist party because of Hamilton's inability to bend or just shut up. Like those prophets that seem to gain strength and honor as the world shifts and slides into alignment with their oracle-like vision, the modern world seems able to identify and honor Hamilton because in many ways HE made it.
Chernow's biography paints the details of Hamilton's life with a vision of just how incredible a figure Hamilton was, and how his talents often unsettled those around him. Chernow also frames Hamilton around those important founding fathers that contributed to Hamilton's rise (Washington), fall (Jefferson, Madison, Adams), and death (Burr) while also showing how Alexander Hamilton also contributed to his own rise, fall, and death.
One of my favorite easter eggs from this tome was a remark Burr once made after shooting Alexander Hamilton. Chernow relates that "Only once did Burr betray any misgivings about killing Hamilton. While reading the scene in Laurence Sterne's Tristram Shandy [an amazing book, which I recommend everyone read, btw] in which the tenderhearted Uncle Toby picks up a fly and delicately places it outside the window instead of killing it, Burr is said to have remarked, "Had I read Sterne more and Voltaire less, I should have known the world was wide enough for Hamilton and me."
Anyway, an amazing man is never really captured, but this biography comes pretty close.
"Easily The Most Interesting Founder... Easily"
Alexander Hamilton seemed a strange and sort of periphery figure in so many stories surrounding the revolution. After listening to McCullough's John Adams and hearing Hamilton constantly mentioned as a behind the scenes foil, or as the brains behind so many plots, I wondered why I didn't know anything about him. I mean, I knew he died in a duel with Aaron Burr, but that's about all.
After 37 plus hours of just the most interesting life imaginable I realized only 5 days had passed. This guy really didn't leave the tri-state area after he came to New York when he was 16 and he still managed to be in the center of nearly every major moment in American History from 1776 to 1800. He became a Captain at 19 and a Lieutenant Colonel by 21, he was a key figure in convincing the New York public to go to war while he was still in college. Without him, there is a very good chance the constitution wouldn't have been ratified and, without his financial system, our debt would've probably crushed our little country before it even got going. I thought George Washington was the first President, turns out Hamilton pretty much ran things. Then, the guy dies in a duel with the Vice President! This was 37 hours well spent, I'll have to come back to this next year when my heart stops beating so damn fast.
To be honest, I have never had much respect for Alexander Hamilton. I sympathize with the anti-federalist Jefferson camp. I read this book to educate my ignorant bias. I did. I am still an anti-federalist but I have new respect for Hamilton. He is the true example of the american dream. He came from humble beginnings and worked his butt off.
Long commute = Lots of time for audiobooks
"The greatest founding father."
Oh, how I love Scott Brick as a narrator. There's nothing more I can say, really. His pace, tone, and expression capture nonfiction pieces perfectly.
I discovered this book after reading Chernow's "Washington: A Life," and realizing that I was finding myself more and more fascinated by Washington's devoted and talented young protege, Alexander Hamilton. Imagine my delight when I found that Chernow had authored a biography on Hamilton as well.
All of America's founding fathers were brilliant, courageous, enterprising, and thoroughly flawed men. Chernow captures this balance perfectly in writing about both Washington and Hamilton.
Hamilton has become my favorite founder (because yes, as a history nerd, I do have a favorite). He was one of the only truly self-made men of the founders, and as an immigrant and illegitimate child, perfectly embodies what I believe has always been the American dream (however romantic and idealized the notion may be): the ability to come to this land and discover one's own greatness, regardless of one's humble beginnings. There is so much more to Hamilton's story besides his well-known duel with Aaron Burr, and Chernow captures every detail and paints the clearest picture of a man whose legacy lives on in so many parts of our lives today.
My interests run to psychology, popular science, history, world literature, and occasionally something fun like Jasper Fforde. It seems like the only free time I have for reading these days is when I'm in the car so I am extremely grateful for audio books. I started off reading just the contemporary stuff that I was determined not to clutter up my already stuffed bookcases with. And now audio is probably 90% of my "reading" matter.
"The most underappreciated Founding Father"
I had no idea how incredible Hamilton's life was. This story has pretty much everything: illegitimate birth, extramarital affairs, bitter career rivalries, brilliant political discourses, passionate pursuit of causes, military adventures. I don't necessarily support everything Hamilton worked for, but he argued persuasively for his point of view. In an era where opinions and sound bites seem to suffice for rational debate for so many people, you have to appreciate someone who worked out detailed rational supporting arguments on paper for his ideas. I'm referring primarily to the Federalist Papers, but there was a good deal more than that. The Founding Fathers aren't remembered as being especially savvy, but Hamilton rose to the challenge and was able to conceive a financial system that pretty much rescued the fledgling republic from disaster. Unmentioned in my school history days is that Hamilton was at Washington's side as his aide-de-camp all through the Revolutionary War. This country owes so much to Hamilton and it's a shame that all most people remember is that stupid duel with Aaron Burr.
Lover of good ideas
"The story of a creative genuis of American history"
If you want to understand a great statesman and intellectual giant in American history and also learn about the early history of our country and the men and woman who were a significant part of our country's history you will want to read Alexander Hamilton. You learn a lot of facts about the man and the period but more important, you come to understand the personalities and motivations of these great men and woman.
Make the time to listen to this masterpiece of literature.
"Tour de force."
Excellently written, articulate, objective,thorough to a fault; this vast work brings life to a truly remarkable man and an extraordinary period of time. Scott Brick's narration is perfect for the piece.

Rush Limbaugh is already floating the idea out to his half-witted "Dittoheads" that this was sabotage on the part of the "eco-nazis"; that some unnamed environmental organization plotted this disaster in order to further their evil socialist agenda.

Watch Jason Aldean's star-studded new video
Some of Jason Aldean's fellow country stars join him inside an old-school arcade photo booth in the new music video for "1994." The song, which is the third single Aldean has released from last year's platinum-selling "Night Train" album, is a blend of country and rock melodies with a hick-hop twist. A catchy chorus chant calls out classic country star Joe Diffie.
The video, released online today, features some visual throw-back references like a big blocky cell phone, low riders and cassette tapes. But, it is the country star cameos that are the real attraction. Luke Bryan, Lady Antebellum, Dierks Bentley, Florida Georgia Line, Jake Owen, Little Big Town and "Nashville" star Hayden Panettiere all show up in the photo booth, dancing, strutting and singing along to the Diffie refrain. »Read Full Blog Post

Tim Cook admits he wishes Apple had held launch of new iMac until 2013In a rare public admission of hindsight, Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook said on Tuesday that he wishes his company had waited until 2013 to launch its redesigned iMac, which remained in short supply through the end of 2012.
Speaking with investors and analysts during his company's quarterly earnings conference call, Cook said he doesn't spend a lot of time looking back "except to learn." But in response to a question from Mark Moskowitz of J.P. Morgan, Cook admitted that Apple may have pushed to launch its new iMac too soon at the end of 2012.
"We felt our customers had to wait too long," he admitted.
While the iPad mini was in short supply throughout the December quarter, Apple was still able to ship the 7.9-inch tablet to millions of customers. The same could not be said for the all-in-one iMac, which was given a major redesign with a thinner profile.
"In retrospect, yes, I sort of wish we had done it after the turn of the year," Cook said. "Customers wouldn't have had to have waited as long as they did."
The new iMac was plagued with production issues when the desktop went on sale in December. It was reported that those issues came from a unique screen lamination process Apple has employed in its new design, allowing the desktop to sport a much thinner profile than its predecessor.
In the December quarter, Mac sales were off 17 percent year over year to 4.1 million a loss that Apple attributed mostly to a lack of availability of the new iMac. This quarter, with iMac availability vastly improved, and sales were about flat year over year at just under 4 million.

How can the federal Food and Drug Administration be so tone-deaf and dismissive of its own outside scientific advisory panel to let loose a powerful prescription painkiller that is pure, highly addictive hydrocodone?
Many people have been left wondering as they lobby the FDA to reverse this wrong decision. Zohydro provides 12-hour pain relief, but is subject to abuse. The drug is an extended time-release capsule of hydrocodone without the familiar additive of aspirin or acetaminophen. It will be available in pharmacies in the next couple of weeks. That's unfortunate.
Local addiction treatment experts and families who have lost loved ones to overdoses have come out strongly against Zohydro.
The manufacturer, Zogenix, and the FDA say that the drug, which is a synthetic opiate, is safe if used correctly. The company says the drug is a necessary alternative for patients who have developed a tolerance to other painkilling opioids or can't tolerate opioids mixed with other medicines.
While that may be true, the prospects of misuse outweigh its benefits. Zohydro's heavy dose of hydrocodone will make it even more attractive to abusers, who will be able to crush the capsules and use the powder to create an intense, immediate high.
This has translated into real concern from law enforcement and others trying to fight the abuse of pain pills. Heartfelt pleas have gone out from people like Avi Israel, a North Buffalo resident whose son, Michael, committed suicide in 2011 after struggling with an addiction to prescription painkillers.
Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., urged the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to overturn what he called the FDA's "disastrous" decision to allow an ultra-powerful drug to enter the market in a form that can easily be abused. Other forms of these powerful painkillers have been reformulated so they can't be crushed. Schumer wants the drug pulled until it can be made tamper-resistant.
The increase in addiction to painkillers was outlined in The News' groundbreaking 2011 series "Rx for Danger," about the meteoric rise in the abuse of painkillers and their prevalence in Western New York. That reporting helped lead the State Legislature to pass laws providing for electronic monitoring of prescription drugs.
This state and others are now also fighting the increase in heroin abuse, which is a less expensive alternative to the $30-per-pill painkillers. The extra dose of hydrocodone in the new pills will make Zohydro even more attractive to abusers.
The FDA should reverse its decision and immediately pull the plug on this new form of a potent painkiller, at least until it can be made tamper-resistant.

[Hook x2]
Up against Goliath, to bring butter home
I'm David on pavement, sling another stone
[Verse 1: Ka]
The gifted narrator
Gunmetal gray rhymes, your scripts is lavender
Poor all my life, but rich in character
Wise civilized, don't make me flip to savage ya
The proven wizard that move deliberate
Way of tools exhibit the rules are rigid
Reside and abide, or lose your gizzards
Block hot and hearts cold from heat waves through the blizzards
I'm from Grief Pedigree where they beef heavily
And tag the walls, thinking that was at least legacy
Even when removed from the block, I'm streets mentally
And shown it, for every good moment it's bleak memory
Never had weak tendency, from the heat embassy
Did it malignant, now I seek remedy
Played in the lots with weeds and rocks
And couldn't rest my knot cause niggas squeezing shots
Took on winters in goose downs and long johns
Lifting them four-fifths, I got strong arms
[Hook x2]
[Verse 2: Ka]
From the hardest forest, no fangs and claws
Slanging wars, we large and garbage niggas banging for us
Pressing labor with the razor, it gave me finger sores
Camouflaged behind large rings that bring in broads
Never was a boss, or part of the dons
But did settle mid-level, I'm sergeant-at-arms
Guns since young's how I guarded my moms
Parade with .380 Davis, y'all march with batons
Some feel sick, did real shit to live fantasy
When niggas serve stems, to those in their family tree
Trying to get it where it's at: air, land, and sea
Get nabbed, judge don't budge to show amnesty
The hammer's key. If you stack notes from packed coke
Don't get aired out, can't ball when you flat broke
All that white powder was touted as Black hope
I spoke, asked fiends that rate it, they say "that's dope"
Not kids in church, we did dirt like we lacked soap
Still not trying to get soaked with the Mac scope
[Hook x2]

An examination of the reports of our insane asylums will show the large proportion of cases of general paralysis of the insane among the inmates of these institutions, and treatment has rarely resulted in recovery. Sometimes, as is familiar to the medical officers of asylums, there will be a marked improvement in the mental condition of patients of this class, and the hope is entertained that recovery will follow; but this improvement is usually temporary, and the relapse is a condition worse than before.
A short time ago Dr. T. Claye Shaw reported in a conservative manner a case of general paralysis with bulbar symptoms, that was seen also by Dr. Ferrier, who agreed that the case was fast becoming one of dementia, and that trephining alone afforded hope of relief. Dr. Shaw based his conclusions of the promise of relief afforded by the operation on the fact that pathological

Facade grants awarded to downtown Erie businesses
The Erie Art Museum, the Downtown YMCA and Glass Growers Gallery are among the recipients of facade improvement grants totaling more than $41,000 awarded by the Erie Downtown Partnership.
The grants -- funded by the state Department of Community and Economic Development and the Erie County Gaming Revenue Authority -- were announced Wednesday.
Applicants can use the funds to improve the exterior of their buildings. Examples of eligible uses include new windows and doors, exterior painting, restoration work, and signs and/or awnings.
"I can't think of another project we do that will so quickly have a direct impact on our mission," said John Buchna, executive director of the Erie Downtown Partnership. "We are grateful to our funders for making this project possible."
The Art Museum, 411 State St., received four separate grants -- three for $5,000 and one for $3,960 -- to make improvements at its complex, including new windows, masonry work, painting and other repairs, said John Vanco, the museum's director.
The Downtown YMCA, 31 W. 10th St., and Glass Growers Gallery, 10 E. Fifth St., received grants of $5,000 and $1,560, respectively.
Other recipients include:
- Experience Children's Museum, 420 French St., $5,000.
- La Rue Dix, 21 W. 10th St., $5,000.
- Housing and Neighborhood Development Services, 7 E. Seventh St., $5,000.
- Heritage Wine Cellars, 7 W. 10th St., $600.
Facade grant applications were reviewed by an independent committee and approved by the Erie Downtown Partnership's board of directors. All grant recipients were required to provide matching funds.
