- 'He used a standard-sized, calibrated aneroid sphygmomanometer blood pressure cuff to measure pressure in the left arm.'
- 'These devices include mercury column monitors, which are being phased out of use, and aneroid monitors.'
- 'The aneroid sphygmomanometers were inspected and calibrated by the Biomedical Engineering Department of the University of Michigan Health Systems.'
- 'He said that because Welch Allyn makes aneroid and digital blood-pressure devices in addition to those containing mercury, he had no further comment.'
- 'Thirdly, although aneroid sphygmomanometers are more popular than mercury instruments, they require regular calibration and checks for common defects such as non-zeroed gauges, cracked face plates, or defective rubber tubing.'
- 'On July 17, 1929, he flew the first instrumented payload, consisting of an aneroid barometer, a thermometer, and a camera.'
- 'The mercury sphygmomanometer is a reliable device, but all too often its continuing efficiency has been taken for granted, whereas the aneroid manometer, which is not generally as accurate, is often assumed to be as reliable.'
- 'Elevation was determined using an aneroid altimeter.'
- 'The digital monitor is easier to use than the aneroid monitor.'
- 'These digital devices deflate at about 4 mm Hg per second, making them sometimes seem slower to use than auscultatory aneroid devices, but they are more accurate.'
- 'We calibrated the blood pressure measurement system prior to use each day with an aneroid sphygmomanometer.'
An aneroid barometer.
- 'He pointed out that some Midwestern facilities began phasing out mercury-containing sphygmomanometers and switching over to aneroids a few years ago, at the urging of St. Mary's Duluth clinic.'

Macroeconomic Fluctuations and Deposit Dollarization in Sub-Saharan Africa: Evidence from Panel Data
The role played by macroeconomic fluctuations in stimulating deposit dollarization in developing countries have been a subject of intense debate in the last few decades especially in Latin America and transition economies of Eastern Europe with little attention on African economies. Apart from this, most of the studies on African economies are country case studies with little scope for generalisation. This article examines the effect of macroeconomic fluctuations on deposit dollarization in 18 selected Sub-Saharan Africa for the period 1980 to 2004. Using the standard money demand model accounting for dollarization in small open economies, the article finds that inflation, expectations about exchange rate changes coupled with interaction between capital account restrictions and domestic inflation plays dominant roles in explaining deposit dollarization in Sub-Sahara Africa. Given the consequences of deposit dollarization on the vulnerability of the domestic banking system, lack of independent monetary policy and optimal exchange rate choices, the article concludes that macroeconomic instability must be adequately brought under control in other to reduce deposit dollarization in these economies.

A jubilant Barack Obama clinched the Democratic nomination last night to pass a historic milestone in his quest to become America's first black president.
But in an astonishing twist on the final day of a hard-fought campaign, vanquished Hillary Clinton congratulated her opponent but failed to concede defeat and refused to discuss the possibility of running as vice president.
'This has been a long campaign, and I will be making no decisions tonight,' she said.
Party leaders finally killed off the former First Lady's fading hopes of a return to the White House even before the votes were counted in the last two primaries in South Dakota and Montana.
Historic winner: Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama during an election day speech at the Xcel Energy Center in St Paul , Minnesota
It's all over: Hillary Clinton waves to supporters in New York City last night
A flurry of superdelegates – Democrat Party insiders who remained on the fence until the eleventh hour – sided with Mr Obama to push him past the magic figure of 2,118 delegates he needed to claim a famous victory.
He will be crowned the Democratic nominee at the convention in August and will face Republican John McCain in November's election to choose a successor to President Bush.
"Tonight, we mark the end of one historic journey with the beginning of another," Obama told a victory celebration in St. Paul, Minnesota, at the site of the Republican convention in September.
"Tonight, I can stand before you and say that I will be the Democratic nominee for President of the United States," he told 17,000 cheering supporters. Another 15,000 supporters gathered outside the arena.
Top team: Barack Obama bumps fists with his wife Michelle before his speech at the rally in St. Paul, Minnesota
The win by Mr Obama, son of a black Kenyan father and white mother from Kansas, marked a milestone in U.S. history. It came 45 years after the height of the civil rights movement led by Martin Luther King, who was assassinated in 1968.
It followed one of the closest and longest nomination fights ever. Mrs Clinton, who would have been the first woman nominee in U.S. political history, won more than 1,900 delegates.
She told a cheering crowd of supporters in New York City that she would work for party unity but made no public overtures to Mr Obama.
Mrs Clinton said: 'In the coming days I'll be consulting with supporters and party leaders to determine how to move forward with the best interests of our party and my country guiding my way.'
Mr Obama lavished praise on his opponent after his victory was confirmed.
'Senator Hillary Clinton has made history in this campaign not just because she's a woman who has done what no woman has done before, but because she's a leader who inspires millions of Americans,' he said.
Celebration: Barack Obama is mobbed by supporters in St Paul after declaring victory
Defiant: Clinton supporters cheer the formert presidential hopeful during her election night event at Baruch College in New York
'Our party and our country are better off because of her, and I am a better candidate for having had the honor to compete with Hillary Rodham Clinton,' he said.
One of his aides said he called Mrs Clinton after their speeches, congratulated her on her South Dakota victory and asked her to call him back.
Fourteen years Mrs Clinton's junior and a distant longshot before the primaries began in January, Mr Obama was last night celebrating one of the most stunning underdog triumphs ever seen in U.S. politics.
The Chicago-based father-of-two, who was raised largely by his single mother and his grandparents in Hawaii and Indonesia, had only been a senator for less than three years when he launched his bid for the presidency.
Time to move on: Bill Clinton hugs his wife, with their daughter Chelsea in the background
Erratic: Bill Clinton listens to his wife last night. His performance on the campaign trail was criticised
Running on a message of change, he overcame a huge deficit in the opinion polls to overhaul his vastly more experienced opponent, who was taking her own shot at history in trying to become the first woman in the Oval Office.
An Associated Press tally last night based on public commitments from delegates as well as more than a dozen private commitments, on top of the primary votes, made him the winner of the Democrat nomination battle.
Acknowledging the result, Clinton campaign chairman Terry McAuliffe said that once her rival had passed the tally of 2,118 delegates needed, 'I think Hillary Clinton will congratulate him and call him the nominee.'
Mr Obama was aware that many of the 170 uncommitted superdelegates were privately backing him but wanted to wait until the final votes were in to respect the nomination process.
Two senior Clinton officials said last night that she would pledge to continue to speak out on issues like health care, but for all intents and purposes her campaign was over.
Most staff will be let go though paid until June 15, the officials added.'We've got a lot of work to do in terms of bringing the party together,' Mr Obama said yesterday.
After months of whirlwind never-say-die campaigning, the exhaustion was finally catching up with Mrs Clinton.
Suffering from a recurrent cough, she had to hand over the microphone twice to daughter, Chelsea, as she struggled to finish a speech in South Dakota on Monday night.
While Mrs Clinton decided to wait until all the votes were in before officially admitting defeat, her former president husband, Bill, grudgingly admitted: 'This may be the last day I'm ever involved in a campaign of this kind.'
Mrs Clinton is known to have spoken privately to Mr Obama over the weekend and analysts said one of her key requests in return for her support in the months ahead was for help reimbursing the £10million of her own savings she used to prop up her faltering campaign.
Inevitable: Mr Obama has since February been touted by the American media to become the next president
Their battle for the nomination shattered fundraising and voter turnout records, but also exposed racial and gender divisions within the party that threatened to undermine chances of beating Mr McCain.
Democrat insiders said campaign winners have helped out losers with their debts in the past.
Hillary Clinton ploughed £10million of her own savings into her campaign when donations began to dry up as Barack Obama surged past her.
Her aides have reportedly talked to their counterparts in the Obama camp about coming to a cash deal.
He cannot transfer money to her, but he could ask some of his major sponsors to help her pay her debts.
'Historically, candidates have helped others deal with their debt,' a former Clinton aide told the Los Angeles Times.

Well might as well add my baby to the pile. Started life a upgraded M249 that I got a few years back. It kicked around for a bit then I got serious about it an started rebuilding it and changing it in to a CDN C9. Here are some Pics and a link the my rebuild project. Thought that I would document everything because when I was rebuilding it I had almost nothing to work with so I thought that I would help the next person that want's to rebuild a TOP M249. Full metal with the only plastic being the handguard and real stell where I can find it and add it on. FYI does anybody have a good source for small thin O-Rings. Need to replace some but can't find any for the life of me and it's giving me a low FPS which is driving me mad.

since this is SAW thread i figured this was the best place to post a couple mods i made.
with the lack of space for a large type battery on my para i was left with minimal options. taped to the outside of the weapon works but is an outright sin as far as appearance goes, same for battery bags. so i decided to mod my box mag to fit the battery. my classic army shell had a damaged tab where it locks onto the weapon so i opted to use my A&K shell and swap the classic army internals. *mod will not work on A&K box mags as there is not enough room* first thing to do is remove your internals from the shell. you will see a fairly large tab that is easily removed with a pair of pliers. depending on your battery size this may or may not need to be removed. next,fit your battery into this void and make sure the assembly slides in smoothly and doesnt "bow out" the sides of the box mag or your ammo will fall into this area. upon reassembly this is what you should come up with. next thing to do is make sure there is safe passage for the weapons wiring harness. you will need to do some more notching of the handguard to keep from slicing your wires. There you have it! A large type battery inside the box mag. Oh i might as well add this is well...This is to make mag changes faster.. |

box mag pressure switch mod
i found it very cumbersome and slow to reach under the box mag to push the auto feed button. so i have come up with my own conversion to a remote pressure switch,along with a pictoral how to: (disclaimer) remove box mag battery before disassembly. batteries not included. some parts not for use with some sets, field sold seperately. (lol) remove ammo cover and remove the two small screws holding the feed tube. gently squeeze the two halves together and slide them upward. only needs to be high enough to clear the feed tube. remove the two screws on the bottom of the box mag that holds the switch assembly. slide the internals of the box mag out. it will look like this. you will notice that the switch assembly is only held in place by this nut. remove the nut and simply snip off the switch. i used a tac-lite bladder switch i bought for about $13.00 dollars for this project. simply expose the wire on both the bladder switch and the wires from the box mag switch and attach them accordingly. i opted to hold the wires together by hand and press the switch to make sure i had the right combo. your finished product after soldering and shrink wrapping should look nice and clean. here is what it looks like after re-assembly. I have routed my wiring,including the battery wiring through the top ammo feed trap door. All nice and clean looking. |

Nice Mod Six4, I'm thinking of doing the same thing with mine but I have a question. Waht is the biggest differance power, ROF, battery life, etc..between having the normal "AUG" type battery in the forestock vs. the larger battery that you installed in the box mag. Thanks

PRWeek columnist Bruce Berger references the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA)'s #PRin2012 blog series as the basis of his Jan. 13, 2012, column exploring what constitutes "great leadership" in the public relations profession. Berger says that PRSAY, the PRSA thought-leadership forum, "recently predicted 12 trends that will change the industry in 2012. Lodged in the list … was this: the need for 'great industry leadership' to help the industry 'become the management consultants of the 21st century.'"
PRSA's #PRin2012 series examines 12 trends that will impact the public relations profession in 2012. The series began with a compilation post of all 12 predictions and continues to run each day throughout the month of January. The post that Berger cites on "the need for 'great industry leadership'" was written by Stephen Waddington, managing director of the U.K.-based Speed Communications.

Average wealth has climbed during the 1980s, but its distribution has grown more unequal, and the number of people with no savings at all has climbed.
Average wealth has climbed during the 1980s, but its distribution has grown more unequal, and the number of people with no savings at all has climbed.
Nearly 30 per cent of all Britons have no savings or investment outside their home and pension, and around 10 per cent have no savings at all, according to a new report from the Institute for Fiscal Studies. Most of this 10th consists of single parents and out-of-work couples.
Half the population has less than £750 in liquid savings - up from a figure of £455 in 1991/92. Most people still keep most of their money in a simple bank or building society account.
However, average wealth of £7,136 compares with this median of £750, indicating that the distribution is very uneven. The Institute for Fiscal Studies reports that for the wealthiest 10th of the population, the average level of investments amounts to £50,000, and only the wealthiest quarter achieve an average level of more than £5,000.
The proportion of the population holding shares has increased significantly, up from less than one in 10 households at the beginning of the 1980s to more than one in five by the end of the decade.
The biggest increases in share ownership co-incided with the privatisation of BT and British Gas.
Tax-exempt special savings accounts (Tessas) and personal equity plans (Peps) were taken up widely, by about one in 10 people in each case. But they were held mainly by the wealthiest groups as the median wealth of Tessa and Pep owners is 20 times that of the population at large.
The spread of home ownership has been another key change in savings patterns during the past 25 years, with the proportion of households buying their own home up from half to nearly two-thirds between 1976 and 1996.
The figures show how much rests on the success of the government's Individual Savings Accounts, which are meant to encourage saving by people who have not saved much in the past. The report says the low level of liquid assets also places a question mark over the use of the tax system to encourage private saving for retirement.
"Should the government really use the tax system to encourage them to lock up their wealth for the long term when their income or spending needs might fluctuate in the short term?" it concludes.
It also says that financial exclusion at the bottom of the scale has worsened.
"The groups who make up the new poor in terms of income are also the least likely to have any wealth. The fact that they are not able to save means they are more likely to be poor .... in the future as well."

- Q: "Tanks such as Maus are dying off in randoms!" A: "We'll all die one day. Enough with the whining already, we can give you time off from the forums for healing your nerves" (SS: ....followed by RO ban)
- exact values of hidden parameters are not made public "to avoid whining" - their changes are however still written in patch notes
- a player complained that he hears "turret damaged" voice message on his Object 263, which has no turret - SerB answers that it's not a turret that got damaged, rather than the gun traverse mechanism (its engine), which is found in all turretless TDs
- the oldest running tank the developers drove in real life was Panzer IV (Pasholok), the newest was M48 Patton (Kisliy)
- only the VK3601 will have the Konisch gun in the future
- the unlockable various hulls (as modules) won't come anytime soon
- SerB states that the materials from Chinese partners, provided on Chinese vehicles did contain various machines, unfit to be implemented into WoT, but interesting nonetheless
- players won't be notified further in advance (SS: for example during loading screen) on which base they will appear, SerB states that the countdown time is enough
- arty won't get flatter shell trajectory
- T23 "was not sent to the graveyard"
- Vickers Light Tank Mk.VI was not introduced as tier 1, because Vickers Medium seemed better for the role because it was "logical engineering-wise"
- confirmed there will be no LT hardcap
- devs are generally satistfied with the T-54, but if the big re-work of all tanks happens, it'll get a massive overhaul
- S-Tank will not be introduced into the game, because it would require the implementation a very special aiming game mechanism, SerB states that it aimed by moving the entire vehicle, that would be very awkward in the game and he doesn't think it's worth implementing because of one tank only
- The Chinese IS-2 is called IS-2 and not JS-2 (SS: In Russian Iosif Stalin is written with J) as the Soviets wrote it, because the "I" version is a generally recognised version world-wide
- SerB states that a lot of the Chinese competition winners had crews with 4 skills on the start from the Type 59
- confirmed: Leopard and VK2801 won't get buffed (SS: apart from the HP? unclear) when they are pushed one tier higher, nothing will change for them
Japanese tanks answers:
- SerB states that the vehicle designated Type 5 "Tok" is a 300mm mortar, analogical to the Type 4 Ha-To, based on the Type 4 Chi-Ri or Type 5 Chi-Ri hull
- about the guns bigger than 105mm installed on the Ho-Ri chassis: "Most likely a 120mm naval gun. There were projects with 140mm gun, passed from the fleet to the coastal defense, but I do not have accurate data yet"
- O-I project was allegedly designed with other guns that came earlier than the 105mm: "We don't have any data on that yet. It's possible a 150mm howitzer was considered earlier, because on the early project of colonel Iwakuro this gun is mentioned specifically"
- SerB states that the Type 96 heavy is possibly the Iwakuro tank
- the "visible modules" (SS: for example different tracks in winter) are considered for the "big model overhaul", but no info yet
- hitting a turret rotation mechanism won't cause fires
- it's completely possible that in next patches, the same thing as happens to the German light tanks in 8.4 will happen to the light tanks of the other nations (eg. T-50, Chaffee and others getting pushed one tier up)
- Q: "Will there be inmplemented powerful derp vehicles on top tiers?" A:"E100"
- the rangefinder and other more modern features are not implemented separately, they reflect in the view range and gun accuracy
- purely Swedish branch of the EU tree is unlikely, SerB states it's logical to tie it to the Czech one

when ppl ask serious questions the WG trolls
when complain ( and with a good reason) the WG trolls
so for instance if we would to send a package of shit to WG they would still troll usReplies- AnonymousFeb 12, 2013, 10:47:00 PM
No matter what you do, if SerB wants to troll, he trolls. You can't change that, no one can.
So deal with it, ignore it, laugh about it, stop playing the game, one of those.
"arty won't get flatter shell trajectory" But why? It is the only nerf which would be needed at all...
ReplyDelete- PanzerHAnzFeb 12, 2013, 10:53:00 PM
The E100 being a high tier derp tank is the best! :D
Well, with all the possible czech tanks you shown us I would be happy to see them on the battlefield. - Replies
- AnonymousFeb 13, 2013, 7:52:00 AM
I don't see why it's so much work, just give it a 0 degree gun traverse arch and extremely low dispersion while turning (like 0.02, compared to the patton 3's 0.1).
The "tank tipping" part is being implemented for the E-25 so it's not an issue either. - AnonymousFeb 13, 2013, 11:50:00 AM
The problem is, in WoT you can only turn at 100% rate to the left or right, you can't slowly turn or something.
"purely Swedish branch of the EU tree is unlikely, SerB states it's logical to tie it to the Czech one"
So, is he unintentionally leaking info that there will be an actual Czechoslovak tree? :)RepliesNo, it probably means WG got lazy as fuck and will merge Swedish and Czech branch together so they don't have to develop a branch for each. If they do this, I'll be the first to rage.
DeleteWell, I wouldn't mind if export/foreign variants of Czechoslovak tanks would make it into the tree...as long as it is called a CS tree :)
Other than that (tanks that have nothing in common with CS) I would not like it.Silent, You've hit the bullseye. At the moment they're bending historical data out of shape to conjure up a Chinese tree to dip into most lucrative gaming market. I'm expecting similar contortionism when Japanese tree will hit the servers (especially that, as they stated themselves, WoT was not yet promoted in Japan). And Europe? Who would care about that? Brand already exists, is well known and to top it up, shit customer service and community treatment already caused (hard to repair) cracks in their image. So it's not going to be a gold mine, hence why even try? And SerB's attitude towards S-tank (a truly outstanding design, with potentially unique gameplay that can easily be resolved in a similar way to any other casemated Tank Destroyer) seems to confirm my suspicions.

"a lot of the Chinese competition winners had crews with 4 skills on the start from the Type 59"
So still, no normal player can win contests.

The survivors of the Nazi concentration camps have created their own in Gaza.
ROME (Reuters) - Pope Benedict's point man for justice and peace issues on Wednesday issued the Vatican's toughest criticism of Israel since the latest Mideast crisis began, calling Gaza a "big concentration camp."
Cardinal Renato Martino, president of the Vatican's Council for Justice and Peace, made his comments in an interview in the Italian online newspaper Il Sussidiario.net.
"Defenceless populations are always the ones who pay. Look at the conditions in Gaza: more and more, it resembles a big concentration camp," Martino, whose informal title is Vatican "justice minister," was quoted as saying.
Pope Benedict has made several general appeals for an end to the violence in Gaza but has not openly criticised Israel.
The pope is due to visit Holy Land sites in Jordan, Israel and the Israeli-occupied West Bank in May.

Hello to all, I was thinking about replacing my '98 Cobra's stock H-pipe with a Catted X-pipe. My question is am I going to have problems with the O2 sensors triggering a check engine light? And if so what should I do about it? I do not want to have the light on all the time. Thanks in advance. -J-
If you are getting a catted mid-pipe you shouldn't set off a MIL(malfunction indicator light). If you get off road pipe then it would set off the mil and you would need mil elimnators or turn it off with a chip. Hope this helps. Happy modding!
Hey 20Cobra01, Thanks for the info. I was going with a catted x-pipe so I am glad to hear that I won't have to worry about the check engine light. -J-
Had a Bassani X w/ cats on my '98 GT - no light (same emissions as Cobra). Put an offroad X (BBK) on, had nothing but problems with the Casper MIL eliminators, got chip reflashed w/ O2 monitors turned off - no problems. Casper says it's the 1998 'puter.
My friend got and O/R X with Dallas mustang mils on his 98 cobra and it still set of his CE light. But then it just turned off and doesnt set it off anymore.

Volunteer firefighters had just finished a training exercise Saturday morning when a call came in for a large brush fire between Notch and Quarry roads.
Police said the fire was reported at 12:30 p.m. and wasn't fully under control until 4 p.m., said John Horr Jr., chief of the Lost Acres Fire Department. The flames were fanned by sustained winds, he said.
Officials believe the fire started when a branch fell on utility wires in another part of town, tripping a breaker or causing an overload on the system that generated sparks, Horr said.
Thanks to the prolonged dry weather, the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection has set the forest fire danger for...

Welcome on NEARCTIS website
NEARCTIS [A Network of Excellence for Advanced Road Cooperative traffic management in the Information Society] is an Academic Network gathering the main teams working on the field of traffic management and optimisation, with a particular focus on cooperative systems for road traffic optimisation, but it covers a wider scope as it appears that cooperative systems have to be integrated into the whole traffic management systems.
This aims to develop systems able to cope with what are the main problems at stake: safety, energy consumption, environmental impacts and congestion as an obstacle to elaborating the main elements of this reach institute: building a consistent research program, defining a set of shared resources (data, experimental means, bibliographical databases), organising the spreading of the knowledge and research results.

Wrangler Winter Preparation
I need some advice from you wonderful knowledgeable wrangler owners.
I have a 2011 JK that I need to get prepared for the winter. Basically, what should I keep inside to assist? Right now the only item I have is the device to cut the seatbelt and break the glass if needed. I am getting the following installed on Friday. Quadratec: Image Zoom Quadratec: Image Zoom 14013 - Bushwacker TrailArmor Hood & Tailgate Protector for 07-12 Jeep® Wrangler & Wrangler Unlimited JK - Quadratec What should I get to keep in the storage bags? I could only think of jumper cables and a flashlight. Any other mods you think would be beneficial? Fuel door covers are back ordered everywhere. Does the snow or ice get on the gas cap for those without a fuel door cover? Thanks! |
What are you trying to accomplish and where are you venturing? That will determine much of your packing and preparation needs. Also know your limits - you do yourself no favors venturing into things you ought not venture into.
Consider your current tires first and foremost, as All-Season and All-Terrain do not equal good winter tires by any stretch of the imagination - the improvements gained with a set of dedicated winter tires will be huge. Having daily driven a Jeep (YJ, TJ) for the past 12 winters on both A/T and M/T tires, I am completely sold on the winter tire idea. Pictured: Yokahama Geolandar I/T http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...now_Tire_1.jpg The following are a few general ideas, based upon what has been useful for me in the past during winter usage, for myself and for helping others, in and around civilization; one's needs in the backcountry will be a different creature altogether, obviously. This list isn't complete, just a few things that I've put to use in the wintertime and was glad that I had with me. If you have a winch, you'll need to pack gear for its use and maintenance, too. For yourself: -Shovel or two (a big coal/manure shovel is great to have along as a second shovel if bigger snow drifts are an issue) -Proper recovery points front and rear -Tow strap AND recovery (aka snatch, kinetic) strap -Shackles -Gloves -Extra jug of washer fluid -Flashlights, as in plural -Headlamp -Basic tool kit, or more advanced if you can put it to use -Air compressor+plug kit -Supplemental lighting, particularly to the rear of your vehicle -Extra clothing as needed, but definitely an extra jacket, boots, and socks -Snacks, water -Blanket/sleeping bag -Towel -Good jack, extra lug nuts (think: A Christmas Story), and a non-slip base for your jack -First aid kit and knowledge in its use -Fire extinguisher (4-5lb w/ hose preferred) -Extra fuel if there is even the slightest possibility that it might come in handy -CB and scanner, as you can occasionally learn useful things from truckers and emergency response vehicles For helping others (if you care to do that sort of thing): -Extra gloves -Long-handled, small-head shovel for digging underneath low-clearance vehicles that are mired in snow -Small sack of salt and/or sand -Short recovery strap or "tree strap" in the 6-10' range, to use as a short strap when working in tight quarters (think: pulling someone off the berm of snow left at the end of their driveway, where there is no need for a 30' strap or a running start) -Transit cluster (but know its limitations and how best to safely use it for a task that it wasn't really intended to perform) -Hammer to pound the screw-in goes-in-the-covered-hole-in-the-bumper tie-down points on modern vehicles that use such things, since the grease and dirt in the screw hole will be hard and the recovery eye won't self-thread easily -Snacks, water enough to share -Hand/feet warmer pack things, since the person you're trying to help may have been trying to help themselves for a while before you happen upon them |

That picture rocks. You don't get much seeped than that.
That storm dropped 34" of snow. I was on my way to volunteer at the local hospital where for the next 48 hours I helped drive doctors and nurses to and from work.
Experience goes a long way, just as in most off road situations. The NG was helping out as well and even though they had fully capable Humvees, many of the drivers were not experienced driving in snow and were afraid to go to some areas. Getting into the side streets that had been walled up by plows was an issue. One time I recalled passing a plow clearing out a parking lot just up the road. I went back and explained what I was doing and he agreed to open the entrance of the road for me. One doctor tried to pay me and after refusing I decided to level with him. I told him that I was actually being quite selfish. I was having a blast driving anywhere I wanted on streets that were closed except for emergency vehicles. I had a dashboard placard that let me go anywhere I wanted. The hospital gave us all the coffee we wanted and provided food. (The hot soup from the cafeteria alone was worth it!) On top of that they gave us vouchers from a local gas station to get gas. |
I've also wondered about getting the (Rubi) OEM BFGs siped. That's not kosher for rock crawling, I know, but surely it would help them do better in winter conditions. HPH |
As an experiment, I tried to see how long I could go without 4wd last winter with the snow tires on. Except for one snow storm event and one ice event, I got around everywhere I needed to go the rest of the winter in 2wd with a limited slip rear, thanks to the dedicated winter tires. |
Tom: What a wonderful way to help your community. Way to go!
Anyone who are still running the SRA Goodyear Wranglers: How are they for "normal" winter driving. I KNOW they are not true snow tires, but I really don;t want to spend more money at this time on a vehicle I have 4WD. It would 'assume' they would be ok-so-so with the 4WD engaged but limited in pure unbroken snow. Thoughts? |
My wife has Goodyear SRA's on her Liberty and they are very good. The tread life is amazing. When the time comes, if it ever does, we will probably go with GY Silent Armor for the Liberty. |
VERY much appreciated. I had hoped the SR/A's would be AOK. As I have stated in the past, my ride is really a DD and some frequent use on dirt/forest roads deer hunting as well as putting my fishing skiff in off rock/packed sand beaches and of course snow.
Here on the SouthCoast we can get some dozzy storms but usually they get the roads plowed and they remain slushy within 24 hrs. Downside is TONS of freekin salt......God how they love to sale here. I applaud you Community Activity. Your the type of individual every community needs (everywhere needs lots of them) who picth in in times of need. Sometimes its little things (shovel out the fire hydrants on your street) that enhance the quality of everyones life....your efforts in driving DR's to hospital was huge. We all can and should do what we can......its really a small world. |
It wasn't all that giving of myself. I really had a blast. There were about a dozen of us involved.
I am looking forward to this winter ! |
I would totally love to do something like that. How did you get involved? Did you just call up the local hospital?
Computeruser: Thanks for the thorough response.
Great photo!!! Even better list. Definitely going to get sof these. I hope items will fit where I need them to fit. Shared the list with another coworker who plans to get some of these items as well. Thanks! |
A bit OT but where do you inquire about doing this type of work? |
All I am doing for winter is installing a eaton elocker in the front end as I have limited slip in the rear. Only reason I am doing this is because I am regearing to 4.88 ratio gears as this mopar thingy is the most grossly miss geared car I have ever owned. and this is with stock tires and wheels. So while it is out I will put in the elocker just for fun. Oh and always keep a jug of crown in the jeep incase of snow snake bite!
Almost forgot the 12 gauge Winchester defender, and a few boxes of amo, and a cell phone but they all stay in year around.
That object in the front left is our Liberty.
All times are GMT -5. The time now is 10:29 PM. |

Henry Louis Gates to present a PBS series exploring 5 centuries of African-American history
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — After a tragedy like the Trayvon Martin killing, calls routinely arise for a conversation about race.But Henry Louis Gates thinks the more direct way for structural change is through schools and their curriculum.That's what he's hoping will happen with "The African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross," a six-hour PBS documentary series that traces 500 years of black history."To tell the whole sweep of African-American history — no one's tried to do that. That was what we were crazy enough to do," Gates said in an interview on Wednesday....

'Drunk History' puts intoxicated twist on history
NEW YORK (AP) — To hear comedian Derek Waters tell it, the idea for ''Drunk History'' came about when ''New Girl'' actor Jake Johnson had a few drinks and was trying to tell him a passionate anecdote about the late singer Otis Redding.''He was trying to tell me that Otis Redding knew he was gonna die. I didn't really buy the story,'' Waters said in a recent interview, ''but he was so passionate about it and he wasn't able to articulate everything. I just kept picturing Otis Redding reacting to this guy (Johnson) telling a story about how he knew he was gonna die and I thought, 'That would be cool to reenact.''' (Redding was killed in a plane crash in 1967.)Soon after, Waters and director Jeremy Konner were making Internet shorts. They filmed actor Mark Gagliardi getting drunk and reciting a historical story that was a bit messy because of the alcohol. A celebrity would then act out the story, complete with hiccups, slurring or other signs of an inebriated storyteller.The videos were posted to the website FunnyorDie.com in late 2007. Celebrity participants included Johnson, Michael Cera, Nick Offerman and Ryan Gosling....

Jon Wiener: 'The Americans': Soviet Spies on Cable TV
Jon Wiener teaches U.S. history at UC Irvine. His most recent book is How We Forgot the Cold War: A Historical Journey across America. The best thing about "The Americans," the new spy show on FX cable TV, is that the Soviet spies are not Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. They are a different married couple--Russians, sent by the KGB from Moscow to Washington DC. The show begins shortly after Reagan takes office....If Claire Danes and Mandy Patinkin of "Homeland" had been assigned to this case, they would have caught Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys, the stars of "The Americans," in episode one.Ron Radosh, David Horowitz & Co. will be unhappy with this show (of course they are unhappy about so many things) because the spies in question are not American communists. They do have a point there – the most successful Soviet spies in the US were not Russians. I'm not talking here about Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. Historians today pretty much agree that Julius was a spy but he didn't give the Soviets the secret of the A-bomb; Ethel was innocent but was framed by her brother, David Greenglass, because the FBI threatened to indict his own wife....

After 'Spartacus' Ends, There's a Chance Caesar May Take His Place
The posters for "Spartacus: War of the Damned" promise that the newest batch of episodes will take viewers to the bitter end. But at last night's premiere for the final season of the series, "Spartacus" creator Steven S. DeKnight was already thinking about the future.DeKnight told Speakeasy that some preliminary talks are already underway to possibly spinoff a series focusing on Gaius Julius Caesar, who in "Spartacus" is played by Australian actor Todd Lasance. "It's in the early conversations of a possibility. Rob Tapert, my producing partner and I, we love this world we've created together, and we would love to spin it off in some direction with the same style and the same feel as the show. Caesar is definitely a strong possibility."...

Christopher Columbus did not know where he was going when he set out or where he had been when he got back. But was Amerigo Vespucci (who died 500 years ago today), after whom America was named, any better informed?
A person who has not one but two continents named after himself is likely to attract his share of jealousy. The Florentine mathematician and navigator who crossed the Atlantic a few years after Columbus, making landfall in Venezuela and Brazil and reaching almost as far south as Patagonia, has been called many names over the years, a deliberate liar, a "faker", a "false pickle-dealer" and much else.
Yet there is little doubt that he was a great navigator, reared in the intellectual hothouse of Medici Florence, later receiving the title "Pilot Major" by the King of Spain himself.
Vespucci was born in 1454 and was soon swept up in the hectic, scholarly atmosphere of the city and became a close friend of a cousin of Lorenzo de'Medici.
With the fall of the Khans in China and the conversion of the Mongols who ruled Persia to Islam, Marco Polo's land route to the Far East was blocked. Thanks to Polo, all Europe knew about the riches of the Orient and now the Renaissance men of Florence and elsewhere dreamt of reaching them by sea.
In 1491, the year before Columbus made landfall in "the Indies", Vespucci left Florence and headed for Seville. Supporting himself as a supplier to departing ships (hence the "pickle-dealer" slur), he immersed himself in maps and charts and speculation. He left on his first voyage on 10 May 1497.
To Vespucci, the coast of modern Venezuela and Brazil, where his expedition landed, had nothing in common with the zones described by explorers of the Orient. Instead this was an unimagined world.
"Surely," he wrote, "if the terrestrial paradise be in any part of this earth, I esteem that it is not far from these parts." In his description, the people he encounters are living in a dream-like state of bliss: with no metals except gold, no clothes, no signs of age, few diseases, no government, religion or trade. In a land rich in animals, plants, colours and fragrances, free from the stain of civilisation, "they live 150 years and rarely fall ill".
But turn the coin and he was in a world of devils. "They eat one another, the victor [eats] the vanquished. I know a man... who was reputed to have eaten more than 300 bodies..." The women are intensely desirable: "none... among them who had a flabby breast", but they are also monsters and witches: "...being very lustful, [they] cause the private parts of their husbands to swell up to such a huge size that they appear deformed and disgusting... in consequence of this many lose their organs which break through lack of attention..."
The wild and fantastic nature of Vespucci's descriptions raises the question of how reliable his observations are, but then vast doubt surrounds almost everything about his adventures. We don't know how many voyages he undertook, his authorship of some of the accounts is questionable and it is not even universally accepted that he identified South America as a new continent. That honour may more rightly lie with the man who immortalised his name: a German geographer called Martin Waldseemüller, a member of an amateur learned society. In the society's survey of world geography published in 1505 they included one of Vespucci's accounts and a world map with the new, southern continent labelled "America" – the first time the coinage had been used, in honour of "its discoverer, a man of great ability".
The geographer later changed his mind about Vespucci's worthiness and wanted to change the continent's name.
But by then the Florentine's tales of sex and cannibalism in paradise had made him world famous.
And the name stuck.

However, England's Orient Express having been so emphatically derailed in Calcutta, this is no time to be idly sniffing the ozone. All of a sudden, a match originally identified as a weekend break on India's mid-eastern coast assumes the proportions of a crucial Test trial.
Appropriately enough for this venue (the town centre resembles Dodge City circa 1840), the match against the Rest of India boils down to a shoot-out between England's three specialist spinners for the second Test in Madras next week.
Keith Fletcher, the team manager, came as close as he has so far to admitting that the tourists misread the pitch in Calcutta by saying: 'If conditions are similar in Madras, we will probably go for a more balanced (two spinners) side.' This would be more comforting if England had a better track record of identifying what a pitch might do before the game rather than after it.
Madras, though, is expected to be as spinner-friendly as Calcutta and another intriguing Test is in prospect. Unless Philip Tufnell has a poor game here, he is almost certain to play in Madras, but for all his heroics with the bat, Ian Salisbury did not bowl well enough at Eden Gardens to entirely rule out a challenge from John Emburey.
Fletcher's problems do not end with identifying his best spin bowlers, in that it was the batsmen's first-innings ineptitude against the Indian slow bowlers that effectively cost them the the first Test. Fletcher lamented yesterday that England pitches are neither conducive to producing spinners nor batsmen who can play them properly - a discovery that could have been slightly better timed than 1-0 down in a three- Test series in India.
'We need good pitches in county cricket,' Fletcher said, 'and by that I don't mean wickets that are merely good for batting. Our game needs conditions that assist slow bowlers. Not only is it of more interest to spectators, but if we are not careful the day will come when we don't have any spinners left.'
England included both Richard Blakey and Dermot Reeve in their 12 to give them a chance of cricket in what would otherwise be a totally inactive month. Alec Stewart, Mike Gatting and Chris Lewis get the game off before the back-to-back Tests in Madras and Bombay.
The Indian side here is being captained (for the first time in a first-class match) by the 19-year- old Sachin Tendulkar, and the home selectors clearly have him in mind as Mohammad Azharuddin's successor. Before Calcutta, Tendulkar might have had the captaincy thrust upon him already, but as is often the way in India, Azharuddin, on the strength of one victory, has gone from someone busy ordering brick- proof double-glazing for his house, to candidate for prime minister.
ENGLAND 12: G A Gooch (capt), M A Atherton, R A Smith, N H Fairbrother, G A Hick, D A Reeve, R J Blakey (wkt), P A J DeFreitas, J E Emburey, I D K Salisbury, D E Malcolm, P C R Tufnell.
REST OF INDIA (from): S R Tendulkar (capt), W V Raman, A Kuresia, S V Manjrekar, J Paranjpe, V Yadav (wkt), V Prasad, A Padmanathan, A Kapoor, U Chatterjee, S Ankola, A W Zaidi, M Sridar, B Singh.

The fashion-conscious rapper performed at the 12.12.12 Hurricane Sandy benefit concert in a Givenchy leather kilt and pants getup paired with what looks like a... printed sweatshirt? So is Kanye's black-on-black attire too much style for the general public to handle, or is it just an outright fashion disaster?

Mission Status |
ISO's last light and switch offISO was switched off on May 16 at 14:00h (CET), thereby bringing to a close the highly-successful in-orbit operations of the ISO mission. Prior to that, ISO's orbit was changed to force the satellite to burn up in the atmosphere, thus contributing to preserving the environment in space. In fact, ISO continued to give scientific surprises to the very end. ISO's 'last light' observation -taken with the SWS instrument just before midnight on May 10- was of emission lines from hydrogen in a hot supergiant star (eta Canis Majoris). The preliminary results show that this star, supposed to be ordinary, is probably surrounded by a disk of matter. |

JobsOhio announced today that it will launch an advertising campaign featuring new 30-second television spots that will "run for three weeks on most major networks around the state." You read that correctly. John Kasich's signature program, funded with taxpayer dollars and responsible for attracting new jobs to Ohio, is going to start running TV ads in Ohio.
For a group that fought tooth-and-nail to be free from any government oversight or public scrutiny, the purpose of their first big ad buy couldn't be any more transparent.
You may be familiar with TV ads from Michigan or New York that […]
Full Story... →Today's New York Times reports that Mitt Romney, in an attempt to repair the damage done by his "47 percent" comments, is running a new ad in key swing states in which he tries to relate to the unemployed and underpayed among us.
Interesting thing about the ad, according to the Times. It's not running in Ohio:
On Wednesday, the Romney campaign reserved $3.4 million worth of advertising time in eight swing states. Nearly half of that — more than $1.5 million — was for Virginia. The rest was spread across Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, North […]

Chicago Tribune | Ted Gregory
Cassie Stanley was in the cardiothoracic intensive care unit on a bright February afternoon. Five tubes snaked from her body and, more than 30 pounds underweight, she could barely walk around the room. Lunch was ice chips. The night before she slept only about four hours.
And in so many ways, she couldn't have been more fortunate.
Stanley wasn't expected to survive long when she was admitted to the hospital a week earlier. Then a new life was given to her, in the form of lungs transplanted during a 10-hour, overnight surgery.
They are her third set of lungs in a sometimes harrowing life odyssey. After the first transplant in 2007, her body slowly began rejecting the organs and she became desperately ill. The latest chapter, detailed by the Tribune in January, was a 26-month wait for another donor.
