four wires inside a cable?!
I was just up in the attic trying to spice my projector's power cable into a junction box. I've cut these types of wires (seemed to be a regular PC power wire cable) before and have always just seen a white, black, and green.
This cable had a fourth wire inside, a completely loose/unsheathed silver wire. I checked the male head of the original cable to see where it led to, I tore the thing apart slowly and saw that it seemed to go nowhere - that it just ended in the plastic plug right near where the 3 main (power/neutral/ground) wires split to their respective plugs.
What is this extra wire, and more importantly how (please don't say it's impossible!) do I hardwire this to a normal box that's all a 3 wire pattern/setup?
Joey....not sure what your problem is because of the terminology you are using. But does this cable you're talking about have a metal jacket, kind of a spiral wrap?
If it does, you have a cable that is called "BX" and that metal jacket is the ground (what you know as the green wire) and that sliver wire is NOT a current carrying conductor. That silver wire is an integral part of the system of that cable and not to be connected to any other wire.
If you want to use that silver wire, use it to hold that red plastic anti-short that goes in of the end of cable in place.
If you are cutting the end off of a D plug for a electronic item, the loose wire, is actually for EMI. Personally, I would of placed a outlet right on the ceiling behind the projector, got a 1' cord made for this purpose, along with 1-2' cables for A/V, instead of re-engineering something.
Reason being, is you are doing something that can cause problems later on, and the cords for Electronics are not rated to be directly connected to household wiring with wire nuts.
Apparently what you've done is cut the end of of the power cord for the projector?
1. You should not have that cord run into the attic at all as it's not rater for such a usage.
2. You should not even attempt to wire this into a junction box in ANY location.
But forgetting all that "legal" electrical code stuff.....
3. Why on earth would you have a projector plugged into, or worse yet, wired directly into, the electrical power with no way to protect it against a surge?
What you did is a violation if you ran that projector cord through a hole in a ceiling, wall, drop ceiling, or floor.... 400.8 NEC, You should have installed a receptacle instead...
You may be able to find a new cord a www.monoprice.com
Which would protect the projector ONLY if a surge came into the structure on the high voltage lines from the service feed.
Sadly, many people are of this same, "I have a whole house surge protector" misunderstanding thinking they have protected electronics when in fact the items are still very much at risk. Low voltage lines (yard lighting, telephone wiring, TV coax, etc.) coming into the structure are often the cause of damage when a nearby lightning strike is the source of a power surge. Additionally, some high voltage lines may be the culprit in these cases (well pump, fountain pump, yard lamp, etc.) where the surge is on the "back" side of the whole house unit.
To clarify what I have here, it's a 3 pronged cable. I slice the cable in half, and there's 3 insulated copper wires (white, black, green), one un-insulated silver-stranded wire, and a silver/aluminum insulation that runs the distinace (like the paper stuff in romex).
Ok Joey .... disregard what I had posted.... has nothing to do with your situation.
My apologies....
I'm still confused a bit to be honest - if that fourth wire inside the cable, the unsheathed aluminum (versus the other three, sheathed, copper wires), goes nowhere and is just for interference, how does the absence of the male piece that I cut off affect that? If it doesn't connect anywhere at the end I guess I'm just not seeing why it's not doing its job still... I don't want to fry this thing lol, so if there's no way to make this work I guess I'll have to special order a new cable for it, but I guess I don't see why I can't get something from home depot or whatnot that'll allow me to connect or do something with that extra aluminum wire - didn't assume there'd be some special thing they did with that that I could not duplicate myself.
I have very little knowledge with electronics...
but my guess it is an RF drain(to block any electrical interference from the power)....it may not have been connected to anything where you cut the wire but it might be attached to the chassis of the your projector
And take heed to what the others say ....that wire is not suppose to be in the walls or ceiling.
so the only way to ceiling mount would be to have an electrical outlet on the ceiling? No way around that, no other cabling I can build myself that'd go to a ceiling fan junction box in the attic, nothing? I guess I've just never seen that before and have seen wires run straight into the attic for powering, but haven't seen too many of these and dunno if the ones I saw were done right I gues :huh:
Whenever a projector unit is mounted to a ceiling, you always have a receptacle (preferably a isolated ground, with a Surge protection device down circuit). Also, you have a plate that the A/V cables plug into. Usually these cables are no longer then 1-1.5' to keep from having a huge roll of cable at the ceiling.
Do a search at AVSForum.com for installs to see how others have done it.

A large number of police personnel were deployed at the spot to avoid any untoward incident. Police barricaded one side of road from Janpath side which has the entry gate to Dikshit's residence. Protesters shouted slogans against the government action. "The land where these people are living is there land, they have documents of it. But it's unauthorised because you have to get the map passed by the government," Kejriwal said.
"But on Oct 4, 2010, Sonia Gandhi had announced that 1,600 colonies will be regularised, this colony is also one of them. But despite that 500 houses were demolished," he said. He alleged showrooms nearby were not razed. "We were asking for Dikshit's time which was not given. We are not here for a clash with the government but a sit-in protest," he said.

Sherritt Madagascar unit says new tax rules prevent nickel shipments
ANTANANARIVO Feb 18 (Reuters) - The Madagascan unit of Sherritt International said on Thursday containers carrying nickel had been prevented from leaving the Indian Ocean island's Toamasina port for several days due to a new tax regulation it said did not apply to it.
Ambatovy said due to enforcement of the Advance Cargo Declaration (ACD) introduced by the transport ministry, it was also unable to ship spare parts and raw materials.
"In the absence of guidance from the competent authorities for shipping companies expressly and unequivocally ordering them to accept the cargo without requiring the ACD, Ambatovy would be forced to take drastic measures before the end of next week, "it said in a statement, without elaborating.

I am a early bird...well you know what I mean. But sometimes my mommy does not like to wake up early. I try to stay asleep and move in different positions so mom can sleep in but it just doesn't work, not to mention once I wake up I usually go potty immediately. I have different strategies for waking mommy up. On week days when she gets up early for work, I try to wake her up lovingly before that awful alarm goes off. I figure it is a much better way to start off the day. I will crawl up from under the blankets and give her hugs by laying my neck across her neck. I switch sides of her neck to let her know I am trying to wake her up and not just snuggling. Usually this does the trick and she is happy to see me and gets up right away. Sometimes she is very tired and I have to push a little harder. Since I am already at her face I will start licking her face, Mom doesn't like being licked in the face. When this happens she usually pushes me away, which is fine by me because my next move is to go after her toes. She absolutely hates people touching her feet so this drives her nuts and she out of bed lickity split! I crawl back under the blankets and start nibbling her toes (she claims that I am biting her, but really it's for her own good). I nibble a few times and she flings her feet over the bed and we are off for the morning. Mom thinks she is in charge but who are we fooling here???
I would like to give you my thoughts on sweaters for dogs....or at least this dog. My mom insists that I wear sweaters when it is cold. She is afraid that I will get too cold and start to shiver. I try to make it abundantly clear that I don't like sweaters and that I would rather be chilly. Sometimes when she comes home from work we will go on walks, even when it's chilly outside. First of all, I would like to point out that I am a long haired dachshund. It's practically a fur coat that never comes off; sweater not needed. Secondly, when we are walking I have to keep up with my mom, her legs are only 100 times longer than mine so I am moving pretty fast to keep up with her. Therefore, I am working and getting all heated up; sweater not needed. But still, she does not understand this simple fact. When she puts a sweater on me, I go completely rigid and give her sad eyes. I put my head down and look at her only with my eyes, not moving my head up. I don't move and just stand there trying to look as miserable as possible. Mom will start gathering leashes and such and try not to notice my pathetic look, she will finally laugh and come scoop me up. I love it when she scoops me up and holds me but being that I am a stubborn dog I look away from her and try to re-interate the fact that I hate wearing sweaters. When will she ever learn?
Wow, my first diary on my first webpage. I am one special pup....well, actually I just turned one year old so that makes me practically a grown up dog now. I have had a busy first year of life. So many new things have happened and I have discovered so much. And recently, I have just discovered snow! Mom says it snowed once when I was a very young puppy but I don't remember it. She said I didn't like it though, too cold and I was too short to see over the snow. But I LOVE it now! I've had so much fun playing in it. I like to dig in it and run run run! I usually end up dirty and wet when I come back inside. I like to stay out there and sometimes when mommy calls me to come back in, I pretend like I can't hear her and I keep sniffing around like I am on the trail of a wild animal. Surely, she would understand if she thought I was doing some important business. She likes for me to chase the squirrels away from the bird feeder, but haven't seen many birds or many squirrels lately. Seems like the snow makes them go away. Thats a bummer. Mom wants me to start recording stuff in my diary so she will never forget all the funny things I do. So, until next time...or next snow day, it's been snowing almost every other day here so it might be sooner than you think!

John Howard went into this expecting mates' rates. Now we know he didn't get them, writes Ross Buckley.
The actual text of the free trade agreement with the US was finally made available last Thursday. Have we received what our Government promised four weeks ago that we would? Or are there devils in these 1000 pages?
The big issues for Australia are the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme, agriculture, local content rules in the media, and government procurement.
The PBS at present costs $5 billion a year to run. My two-year-old's treatment costs me $474 a year, and costs the PBS $20,700. To me the treatment is priceless, because it gives him almost a normal quality of life. However, obviously, the more drugs there are available under the scheme the higher the cost to the taxpayer.
Whether a treatment is made available on the PBS is determined by an expert group, the Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee, which has to weigh up efficacy and cost.
Under the FTA, if the committee decides against inclusion of a drug in the scheme, our Government will be required to "make available an independent review process that may be invoked at the request of an applicant".
The Government is adamant that this independent review will not be able to overturn committee decisions. But this interpretation is unsupportable.
The FTA is a treaty. Treaties are interpreted in accordance with the ordinary meaning of their terms. The ordinary meaning of "independent review" is clear. It means an appellate process. If the review cannot overturn the expert group's decision, what is the point of it?
These days not even Shane Warne can put as much spin on a delivery as our Government is putting on this provision of the trade agreement.
On agriculture, the US is entitled to impose extraordinary tariffs to keep out imports of processed tomatoes, peaches, pears and orange juice. Beef exporters gain improved access to the US, but more slowly than Chile under its FTA with the US. Some of the seasonal access for avocados - when the US is not harvesting its own - turns out to be when we are not harvesting them either. And so it goes.
On local content rules, the situation is particularly complex because no one can predict the means by which media will be delivered in the future. Yet we have signed away our ability to regulate local content in yet-to-be-developed modes of delivery.
Present requirements of 55 per cent local content for free-to-air television remain, but not if we move to multi-channelling, as we almost certainly will. If Channel Nine begins to broadcast five channels, as present technology allows, three would have no local content obligations, and if technology improves so Channel Nine can broadcast 15 channels, 12 could have no local content.
In pay television, we can require only 10 per cent of expenditure on children's and educational shows, and up to 20 per cent of expenditure on drama, to be on local content. Ten per cent of expenditure only buys about 4 per cent of local content. Are we comfortable with never being able to require more than 4 per cent of kids' programs on pay TV be Australian?
In the next few years, the FTA is unlikely to have much impact on our media. In the longer term, however, its net effect can only be a dilution of local content. The small demons in these details may in time grow into monsters.
On government procurement, the ability of Australian business to bid on a level playing field for government purchasing contracts is not as extensive as was hoped. We have access to the US federal government and 25 US state governments. However, four massive states, California, Illinois, Michigan and Massachusetts, are excluded.
By comparison, Chile gained access to procurement by 37 US states in its FTA, including those four.
My assessment on the basis of the Howard Government's summary of the FTA four weeks ago was that this was a worthwhile agreement for Australia. My initial assessment of the actual agreement suggests it offers slightly less than was expected and costs us more.
There are gains, particularly for manufacturers and for lamb and wool producers. However, we pay for these, especially in giving up much of our ability to regulate our media.
In addition, these bilateral agreements are bought at the price of our credibility in the World Trade Organisation. This is a real price because the biggest potential gains, by far, are in that forum.
The Cairns Group of agricultural exporters pushes for freer agricultural trade in the WTO. In a speech last Monday Trade Minister Mark Vaile said: "Australia is working hard to re-energise the (WTO) round. I have just returned from a Cairns Group meeting... We sent a strong message to the US, the EU and Japan on the need for them to show leadership as the major subsidisers of agriculture."
How "strong" can our message be when we have agreed to an FTA that leaves America's grossly unfair agricultural practices in place? Moral authority is a source of power. Right now, Australia railing against agricultural protectionism is about as credible as the National Rugby League railing against the abuse of women.
One has to suspect that John Howard entered these FTA negotiations with the US expecting special treatment. But the fine print reveals there are no mates' rates in this deal, none at all.

Michael Young broke out of a slump with three hits and three RBIs as the Texas Rangers erupted for seven runs in the second inning en route to a 9-3 road triumph over the Minnesota Twins on Friday.
Adrian Beltre added two hits and two RBIs while C.J. Wilson (7-3) tossed seven effective innings for the Rangers, who posted their first win in eight games at Target Field.
Young had gone 2-for-30 with one RBI over his previous seven contests before recording at least three hits for the ninth time this season. He highlighted Texas' biggest run-producing inning of the year with a two-run single and added an RBI base hit in the sixth for a 9-2 advantage.
Beltre capped the seven-run second with an RBI double and delivered a run-scoring single in the fourth, giving him five RBIs in his last three games.
Minnesota's Brian Duensing (3-6) yielded seven runs - three earned - in just two innings, his shortest start of the season not due to a rain delay. The lefthander has lost six of seven decisions and allowed at least five runs in four of his last six outings.

May 1, 2014
Sophomore/freshman Chris Maye talks about joining the men's track and field team, his progress as a sprinter with the support of his teammates and coaches and his summer plans.
On joining the track and field team ... "I was a non-athlete last year and I was with a member of the track team one day and he started talking to me about track and it got my heart pumping a little bit and made me want to try to run again. I spoke with Coach Clayton and he thought I had good enough high school times to join the team. Now that I'm here, I'm really happy I made that choice. All the guys are great to hang out with and get along with. I like our coaches that we have and I like the team setting and the environment on the team."
On his improvement since joining the team ... "Overall I'm faster than I was in high school, at least in the 100m. I haven't really found my endurance for the 200m yet -- I ran faster when I was in high school. The first meet this year I PRd in the 100m, which I was pretty happy with. I'm doing a lot more actual technical things when it comes to my race now that I'm at the collegiate level and have the coaches to teach me and give me a better knowledge base -- that's making me overall a better runner."
On having Codie Nolan as a training partner ... "Codie and I run the same events, and by us doing that, it's brought us pretty close as friends. We're pretty similar when it comes to speed so in practice we push each other. It's not like either one of us blows the other one out of the water so it makes us compete even harder. The same goes for the other sprinters and the hurdlers, even though they're not doing open sprints -- we all compete against each other. The healthy competition makes us all better because no one likes to lose."
On having groups from all event areas together at Indiana this weekend ... "I'm excited to have the majority of the team going. That makes it that much more fun. It's a lot of fun when we're all together, especially at the hotel when we have down time. When it comes to race day, we have that extra support and a bigger fan/team base that's there to cheer us on and get us that much more pumped for the races. Overall, it's just a lot more fun to be able to talk to the guys and see everybody run versus finding out over a text or phone call how they did -- we get to witness it. We get to wish our teammates the best in person instead of in a text."
On his goals moving forward ... "For the rest of the season, I want to place a good time in one of the next two meets to secure a spot to go to Big Tens. We have to be top 18 and I'm sitting right around 20 so I want to run fast enough to do that. Looking forward, I'm looking to being able to run with the guys who are redshirting this year. Our team is going to be that much better because we'll have all those guys competing again. It will make us as a team and as individuals that much better."
On how this year when academically and his summer plans ... "I'm in the school of kinesiology and I'm going to apply to major in health and fitness. This semester was a pretty good semester for me school-wise. I got a lot of the pre-recs I needed for my major. I don't plan on taking on any spring or summer plans, but I am doing to be working at the U-M golf course, along with Phil Washington and Codie Nolan. My summer will be filled with working at the golf course and then training with Codie and Phil and a few of the other guys who will be staying around to train. That will put us that much farther ahead when it comes to training again next fall."

Today, IBM announced the next release of its BPM suite environment, dubbed IBM Business Process Manager V7.5. This version represents IBM's first attempt at unifying the core Lombardi Teamworks platform with IBM's legacy WebSphere Process Server environment.
So far, IBM is following the product integration roadmap John Rymer and I laid out in our report published immediately following IBM's acquisition of Lombardi. With today's announcement, IBM checks off the first point of integration on our list: establishing a single repository across Lombardi Teamworks and Websphere Process Server. With Business Process Manager V7.5, IBM will deliver a single repository for process assets that leverages Lombardi's impressive "snapshot" version management and governance capabilities, providing a unified approach to administering and reusing process and integration assets.

Bill Heath has been hunting so long he's lost track of how many deer he's taken over the years.
This time, Heath won't have any problems remembering the deer he took the second day of opening weekend.
Hunting on a friend's farm near Cecilia, the Elizabethtown resident bagged his biggest buck yet: a six-pointer with a 20-inch spread that, based on estimations by the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife, weighed nearly 300 pounds before Heath field dressed it.
"Weight-wise, he's the biggest one I've taken," said Heath, a 69-year-old cancer survivor who has plenty of pictures of the massive buck. "The most outstanding thing about him is his weight, more than anything."
Heath was diagnosed with lung cancer in January 2008 and one of his lungs was removed in March of that year. He returned to hunting about 18 months later.
Using a semi-automatic rifle and with an oxygen tank in tow, Heath shot the buck from about 125 yards. He didn't realize how big the deer was until he climbed out of his stand.
Heath couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the buck. Knowing he couldn't lift the deer by himself, he called a friend to help get the buck on a trailer.
"I'd only been in my stand about an hour and a half," said Heath, who began hunting earlier that morning before going home and returning later in the afternoon. "He came to the edge of the clearing and I thought he would come out into it. But he turned around and I realized he wasn't going to come out even farther. I knew I had to shoot right away. He came out just far enough where I could see him.
"I knew he was a nice-sized deer, but I didn't realize he was that large," Heath added. "He only went a few feet after I shot him. When I walked up on him, I saw he was pretty good size. My buddy said 'My God, that's a monster.'"
Heath said he had a chance to shoot a doe which wandered about 20 yards from his stand, but didn't want to shoot it because he saw a young deer not too far away.
Heath also had a chance to tag a deer the first day of the season, but couldn't get a clear shot.
"I saw the deer the first day, but they weren't in a good position for me," he said. "I don't like to shoot at something when there are a lot of obstructions in the way. If I think I've got a good clean shot, I'll take it."
He got his clean shot the next day, shooting the buck before it could scamper off back into the woods.
The land owner, whom Heath said he did not want to identify, helped Heath load the animal onto a trailer. Heath then took it by the Hardin County Mill, where workers weighed the field-dressed carcass at around 220 pounds.
From there, Heath went to Beard Family Custom Processing on Dixie Highway near the Hardin County Fairgrounds to have the animal's meat harvested into breakfast sausage, summer sausage and hamburger.
Heath met Fish and Wildlife deer biologist David Yancy at the processing plant, and Yancy took samples from the deer's head to Frankfort to be tested for diseases and to find out how old it was. Heath was told the deer was probably 6 or 7 years old.
Hardin County conservation officer David Kuhn said the department is most likely testing for chronic wasting disease.
"They take samples of heads every year to test for diseases," Kuhn said. "Chronic wasting disease is along the lines of mad cow disease, except it's in wildlife."
Diseased or not, one area hunter said Heath has bragging rights for life after bagging the monster buck.
"Usually a big deer around here, you're talking 250 (pounds). That's a great bragging right to take one at 250," said David Gibson, vice president of the Heartland Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation. "A lot of people will go years and years – I've been hunting since I was a teenager and I've never seen one in the woods that big. Tell him congratulations from me."

Graded Exercise Stress Test
- To diagnosis the presence or absence of coronary artery disease.
- To monitor the progression of ischemia, or the absence of ischemia following treatment.
- To assess exercise tolerance, and/or set exercise prescriptions.
The Test:
Heart waveforms and blood pressure are monitored while walking or running on a treadmill, or cycle. The test always starts slowly, however, individuals will be asked to exercise for as long as they are able. The test is preformed by a Cardiology Technologist who is specialized in this area of testing, and under the supervision of a Cardiologist. The test, including set-up, exercise time and recovery is usually 30-45 minutes in length.
No food, caffeine or cigarettes 2 hours prior to testing. Bring comfortable exercise clothing and shoes. You must bring a complete list of your current medications.
Graded Exercise Metabolic Stress Test
- To set-up an individualized exercise prescription.
- To monitor the respiratory response to exercise, especially in cases of suspected exercise induced asthma, and abnormal shortness of breath and fatigue with exercise.
The Test:
Heart waveforms, blood pressure, oxygen saturation and breathing are monitored while you exercise on a treadmill or cycle. You will have a mask over your mouth and nose that analyzes the air you breath out and your respiration rate.
No food, caffeine or cigarettes 2 hours prior to testing. Bring comfortable exercise clothing and shoes. You must bring a complete list of your current medications.
Ambulatory Holter Monitoring
- Arrhythmia evaluation for those with or with out symptoms.
- Typical symptoms that would be referred for Holter monitoring are dizziness or palpitations.
The Test:
Heart rhythm will be monitored for a 24 to 48 hour time period. The monitor which is about the size of the palm of your hand is attached to your chest via five sticker electrodes.
Wear loose comfortable clothing. One-piece clothing is not recommended. Keep in mind that you cannot get the monitor wet while you're wearing it, therefore, showering prior to being set-up is preferred by most individuals. You must bring a complete list of your current medications.
Cardiac Device Monitors (Loop Recorders)
Cardiac Event Monitors (also called Loop Recorders) are small portable devices worn by a patient during normal activity for up to 14 days. The device has a recording system capable of storing several minutes of the individual's electrocardiogram (ECG) record. The patient can initiate ECG recording during a symptomatic period of arrhythmias or the device can be set so it can also automatically trigger an ECG recording when certain arrhythmias occur. Cardiac Event Monitors have primarily been used to diagnose and evaluate cardiac arrhythmias.
Cardiac Event Monitors can be medically necessary for any of the following conditions:
- To document an arrhythmia instead of using a Holter Monitor or if a Holter Monitor fails to document a suspected arrhythmia; or
- To document the benefit after initiating drug therapy for an arrhythmia; or
- To document recurrence of an arrhythmia after discontinuation of drug therapy; or
- To document the results after an ablation procedure for arrhythmia; or
- To evaluate syncope and lightheadedness.
Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring
To evaluate your blood pressure response to your activities of daily living.
The Test:
Your blood pressure will be monitored for up to 22 hours. A BP cuff around your arm will measure your blood pressure every 30 minutes during the day and every 60 minutes at night.
You must bring a complete list of your current medications. This test is not covered by OHIP and has a fee of $75.
To assess the electrical activity of your heart at one point in time. It will not diagnose Coronary Artery Disease if you are not having an ischemic attack at the time the ECG is being done. Previous heart attacks with heart muscle damage can be identified, as well as any arrhythmias occurring at the time of recording.
The Test:
You will be connected to the ECG machine with 12 sticker electrodes and asked to lay still for several seconds. The test takes under five minutes. No appointment is necessary.
Nuclear Cardiology
Nuclear Cardiology is a medical specialty that utilizes small doses of radioactive injections for diagnosis, maintenance and prevention of coronary artery disease (CAD). It uniquely provides important information about the physiology and anatomy of the heart using such procedures as myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) and radionuclide angiograms (RNA/SYMA/MUGA).
Myocardial Perfusion Imaging
To determine the extent and severity of coronary artery disease.
The Test:
Images are taken of the heart at rest and following either treadmill exercise or pharmacological stress agents (Persantine). Safe radioactive intravenous injections such as Thallium, Cardiolite or Myoview are used so that these images of blood flow to the heart muscle can be taken by a gamma camera. The procedure usually
takes about 4-5 hours.
Have a light breakfast, no caffeine after midnight prior to the test, and bring a complete list of your current medications, and comfortable clothes and shoes.
Resting Syma
This study measures the contractile function of the heart muscle, mainly the left ventricle. Wall motion, cardiac enlargement, hypertrophy, and pumping (ejection fraction) can be easily identified.
The test involves two injections (pyrophosphate and a radioactive tracer) that are given about 20 minutes apart and do not cause any reaction. A gamma camera is then used to image the heart.
The test takes about 45 minutes and there are no pre-test instructions.
Transthoracic Echocardiogram
To assess the structure and function of the heart and related structures through ultrasound. In ultrasound sound waves are used to make an image of an organ, it's structure and the blood flow inside the organ.
The Test:
An ultrasound probe will be passed over the outside wall of your chest. An adult test takes from 30-60 minutes. For a pediatric test you must allow yourself 60 to 180 minutes, especially for conscious sedation studies. Conscious sedation means that a medication will be given by mouth to children aged three weeks to three years.
Preparation :
No preparation is required for studies for age 13 and up. For age four to 12 allow one hour for the test, and for younger children bring something that will help them lay still for the hour. For children aged three weeks to three years sedation will be used. Children who will be sedated must not have food, milk or formula six hours prior to your appointment time. Breast milk is allowed up to four hours prior to the appointment time. Clear fluids or water are allowed up to two hours prior to the appointment. Once your child wakes up in the morning try to keep them up. Bring a favourite blanket or pacifier or anything else that may help your child go to sleep. You may also bring your child's favorite DVD to watch.
Transesophageal Echocardiogram
To assess the structure and function of the heart and related structures.
The Test:
This is test is an ultrasound of the heart done using a small tube, which is easily swallowed. It allows us to see clear pictures of the heart and related structures from inside your body. Sedation will be used, as well as analgesic agents to relax your throat and reduce any discomfort this test may cause. The procedure is done by a cardiologist. Allow three to four hours at the hospital, even though the actual procedure is only 15-20 minutes in length you will be monitored before and after the test. An IV will be set-up as the sedation is
delivered intravenously.
Bring a list of all current medications. You must take nothing by mouth from midnight the night before the test. You will need a ride home since you will not be permitted to drive following the light sedation used for the test.
Electromyography and Nerve Conduction Studies
- To evaluated the status of the peripheral neuromuscular system.
- To evaluate symptoms such as numbness, tingling and weakness.
The Test:
The study of nerve conduction assumes that when a nerve is stimulated electrically, a reaction should occur somewhere along the nerve. The nerves are stimulated by passing electrical currents to the surface of the skin, or into the skin using needle electrodes. These needle conduction studies may be performed by the neurologists and may cause mild discomfort as the physician will insert a small needle electrode into a muscle. The time relationship between the stimulus and the response is displayed, measured and recorded. The needle conduction studies also use an auditory signal.
Do not wear any lotion on the day of the test. If you are having a needle conduction study, it is important to be relaxed during the study.
Evoked Potentials
To measure the electric responses of the nervous system to motor or sensory stimulation. This test is most sensitive for the detection of lesions in the spinal cord and brain.
The Test:
The potentials consist of a sequence of waves, each of which has a specific latency, amplitude and polarity. Multiple stimuli are delivered by electrical stimulation of the skin, visual stimuli, auditory stimuli or motor cortex stimuli to produce these potentials. Recordings are made by surface electrodes over the limbs, spinal cord, or brain. By averaging many stimulus-response trials, the evoked potential rises out of the background.
Do not wear hair gels or sprays on the day of the test.
- To Record and interpret the electrical activity produced by the brain.
- To determine brain function.
- To monitor for seizure activity.
The Tests:
Non-invasive electrodes are applied to your scalp while you are lying down. In a routine test 20 minutes of brain activity is recorded. You will be asked to perform three minutes of hyperventilation. Your brain's response to a flash strobe light will also be evaluated. A sleep deprived study requires that you stay awake for 12 hours prior for a minimum 30 minute EEG study. In addition to the procedures done in the routine study, we will also try to capture some light sleep stages. Routine EEG recordings on children usually includes natural sleep. Sleep induced studies using a sedative agent for conscious sedation is a special procedure done on children under specific circumstances and requires an order by a CVH physician.
Requisitions from your physician are required. Appointments are booked through the cardiopulmonary department. A current list of medications is required. For the sleep deprived studies you MUST NOT SLEEP from midnight on the day of the test. In addition, you must not have any caffeine after midnight. A sleep induced study requires that the child not eat 6 hours prior to the study, this includes milk. Clear fluids are allowed up until two hours prior to the EEG. Conscious sedation recordings on children require that the child not eat for 6 hours prior to the study, this includes milk. Clear fluids are allowed up to 2 hours prior to the EEG. The parent or guardian will be given full instructions at the time of the booking.
To perform ultrasound and waveform testing on arteries and veins in the arms, legs and neck.
Peripheral Arterial Study
Performed on the arteries of the arms or legs. This test is done to diagnose
hardening of the arteries. This test takes 60 minutes.
Venous Duplex
This test is done on the veins in the arms or legs and is done to detect the
presence of blood clots or deep vein thrombosis. This test takes 30 minutes.
Carotid Duplex or Doppler
The Tests:
This test is done on the carotid artery on both sides of the neck. It is done to
look for narrowing in the carotid arteries, and is typically done on patients
that have had TIAs or strokes.
Pulmonary Function Lab
There are two full pulmonary function labs that are open Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.. A physician referral is required and booking appointments can be done through the cardiopulmonary department main number: 905-813-2712.
Diagnostic tests that are offered include:
- Routine pulmonary function tests - flow volume loops, diffusion, lung volumes
- Bronchial Challenge Tests - by administering methacholine
- Oximetry - for home oxygen assessments
Sleep Lab
The Sleep Lab is open 7 days a week with twelve patients studied each night. The lab is staffed by Registered Polysomnographic Technologists who set up patients for the study and analyze the data. The main sleep disorder that is studied in the lab is called "Obstructive Sleep Apnea" or "OSA". The physician who oversees the lab is Dr. Tetsuo Inouye and he and 3 other Respirologists (Dr. Diane Flood, Dr. Ronald Grossman and Dr. Frank Ritacca) diagnose all the patients referred to the Sleep Lab.
A referral from a physician is required for the test. The requisition can be downloaded, completed by the referring physician and faxed to the Cardiopulmonary Department at 905-813-4546. Questions about the Sleep Study or about an appointment can be directed to the Sleep Lab booking line at 905-813-1100 ext 5295.

I started playing music at the age of 7. I had private lessons on guitar and bass at the same time. I was in the high school orchestra playing percussion. Then I began to play on the road with the Dramatics and James Brown at the age of
15. By the time I was 17, I was in Stevie Wonders band recording and
touring. From there I played with Rare Earth, Parliament Funkadelic , Rod
Stewart, Keb Mo, Elton John and have made about 1500 recordings with various artists.
PFC (Playing For Change) started as one mans dream and vision. Mark Johnson started by video taping a street musician by the name of Roger Riddley
singing the song Stand By Me in the streets of Santa Monica, California. He
then went around the world filming musicians in the streets playing the same
song in the same key and tempo with different languages and put them
all together simultaneously in a DVD documentary with other songs as
well. This created a very impressive project called Playing for Change.
The miraculous communion of musicians around the globe involves everyone, according to McBride, connecting musicians and people from all walks of life. And it doesnt end there.
"Playing For Change" has built two music schools in Africa so far and hopes to build more. With the PFC foundation, people are able to donate to their cause.
I got involved with playing for change through Mark. We met in 2004 while I was playing bass on a Keb Mo record. Mark was engineering for Keb in the studio.
McBride was invited into the project as a co-producer of the first individual artist to be released by the PFC/Concord label, owned by Norman Lear.
The artist is Grandpa Elliott, a musician who was saved from a rooftop during Hurricane Katrina, and, until he was discovered by Playing For Change, he played his music on the streets of New Orleans. The very first day of the recording session, McBride knew he was experiencing magic. The CD, Sugar Sweet, is a modern classic with a pure quality in an incredible sound that is truly unforgettable.
"I am currently co producing Grandpa Elliotts record for the Playing for Change /Concord label, Grandpa is one of the main performers
singing with Playing For Change. He is an icon of the street musicians in
New Orleans. One of the big surprises was the very first track we recorded in
New Orleans -it was magic. The two guitarists from Africa, Louis and Jason,
started playing an African montuna while Grandpa started singing the song
Aint Nothing You Can Do by Bobby Bland which is an American soul classic. I
thought to myself as it was happening, we had better start recording it
right away. The combination between us surprised me.
As for heroes, McBride looks behind to those who stood in the doorway he later walked through as he may well be opening the way for Grandpa Elliott and so many others.
I dont really have a definition of a hero. I think that people do great things and are looked up to because of it. Many people as well as great musicians such as Motown bass player James Jamerson have paved the way for bass players like myself to go forward and Ill always remember him.
I see PFC making a very powerful message that says if different cultures can make music together we all can get along and have peace through music. The one thing I can say about this project - the music is innocent and there are no gimmicks. Everything was recorded as is. And I think thats why people are attracted to it.
A newborn innocence, because of this, may be returning to the music scene. A refreshing note to leave this story on, which, based on the continuing talents and efforts of producers, musicians, and human beings like Reggie McBride, is far from being over. These people are playing for real. Playing a tune of heroism that hopefully will never play out.
Listen to Grandpa Elliot singing This Little Light of Mine

In the past hidden talents have commonly been defined as things you are great at but nobody knows about, or things that you would be immediately great at if you tried them, skipping beginner and progressing to intermediate in an instant.
The first definition is useful mainly in movies, the latter is not really useful at all (arguably more myth than reality).
Your hidden talents are the things you could do that would make you happy. But you don't know it yet.
This is not just about work, but speaks to the whole content of your life. I've already written about the psychological evidence that shows that when people do work or activities that make them feel good and involve skills, either mental or physical, live happier lives.
This is just common sense, and it's probably nothing you haven't already heard before. But I don't think many people actually take the next step and give themselves the opportunity to discover all of their hidden talents.
If you take a pen and paper and write down a list of all the things you've always thought you might enjoy or be good at, you'll be surprised at the number of them that can be tested or teed up within 7 days.
With the help of the internet, it's easy to find local classes, get how-to book recommendations, follow along with tutorials – and find other people who can answer your newbie questions!
There is no real excuse to miss out on finding your hidden talents.
If the barrier to entry on any of your possible hidden talents is too high – for example, you want to try performing mechanical repairs on light aircraft – there is always a way to make it accessible.
Try working on your car instead. If you enjoy that, you can take the next step towards your real goal.
You might also worry that your real hidden talent is not on your list. It's so hidden that you've never even thought about it as something you might like to do.
If you usually hate exercise, you might never expect that you'd love hiking, for example. But your hidden talents are never that random.
You might hate exercise but love nature, so it makes sense that you'd enjoy relatively easy hikes. But you'd be hard-pressed to find a passionate hiker who hates exercise and is bored by natural beauty!
Your hidden talents will always fit your personality or interests in some way. Instead of being hidden and random – things to be discovered by accident – the things you love doing actually make a lot of sense.
You can find a good beginner's lesson on anything for free, online. This is an incredible privilege of living in our current era. It provides us with endless opportunities.
50 or 100 years ago, a farmhand in a small rural town who loved sculpture may never have been able to learn more about it.
His small local library didn't have the books, he didn't know anyone who could teach him, he didn't know where to travel to buy materials or join classes.
So he never had the opportunity to find the hidden talent that would make him happy. For us, the barriers to entry are so low that there's no excuse not to give yourself that opportunity.
Get online, Google the phrases 'sculpture classes', 'sculpture resources' or 'sculpture lessons' and in 5 seconds you have more opportunity than that farmhand ever did to pursue something that could be your life's calling.
The free and instant access to answers, advice and learning materials on any topic is, to my mind, the internet's greatest gift to humanity.
By methodically searching out all your hidden talents, you can:
- Find what puts you into flow and, if you want, build a business on it
- Be happier
- Build a personal brand around the activities you're passionate about
As myself and other online business pundits have argued, positioning yourself as an authority is the best way to create a valuable personal brand.
You become an authority by giving good advice on things that you love and know a lot about. Widening the pool of things you're passionate about means you will have more options and opportunities in online business. Better yet, it will make you happier.
To finish off, a little homework:
Write down anything you think could be your hidden talent on a sheet of paper: things you might like but haven't tried, things you liked in the past before life interrupted (maybe you stopped going to art classes when you moved states, or stopped playing sport when you had a baby.)
If it's in the AM when you read this, pursue one of your potential hidden talents this evening. If it's in the PM, pursue on of your potential hidden talents tonight or tomorrow.
If it's something you can do without help, read up on some beginner lessons. If you need help, look for a local class, group or team you can join.
My own story is that I discovered one of my hidden talents a couple of months ago. Believe it or not, it's playing soccer!
I've enjoyed watching it for many years but never gave myself the opportunity to try playing it until recently. I'm so glad I did.
It's become a passion of mine and I can't imagine giving it up. My only regret is that I didn't give myself the opportunity to try it earlier.
Not only has it made me happier, it's also opened up a whole new sphere of blogs, websites or online businesses I could create in the future based on this new thing I love.
Now I have books on drawing, 3D modeling, fiction writing and game development in the mail – and I'm reading a great book on CSS… just in-case I have any other hidden talents up my sleeve

T-400: leaks and leaks and more leaks
Got a turbo 400. Bought it new. Its a tci street fighter i believe. But it has leaked from day one. Had the pan off several times. Got it to almost quit. Not near as bad as it was anyway. But the worst leak is where the tailshaft bolts to the main body. 4 bolts there and they are dog tight. Doesnt leak out the end of the tailshaft. What is it going to take to fix it? thanks
Is the vent in the top passenger side open.
Here's a pic.
The tail shaft housing on a T-400 has 6 bolts. Perhaps 2 are loose?
ive tried tightening them. They seem dang tight already
You might try 2 gaskets and some good adhesive on the tail housing to stop the leaks.
figured out most of my leak is coming from where the speedo cable screws on. its running down and dripping off where the tailshaft bolts on. Does the cable has some sort of o-ring i the plug or something to keep it from leaking there? i need a new one anyway. And the pan is still leaking around it too. And its leaking a little out the rear seal. But the worst is from the speedo cable
Yes, there's an inner Seal and outer O-ring.
#078 & #369 >> https://www.wittrans.com/Schematic.a...00&Schematic=4
was able to tighten the cable some. But its also leaking out of the gear housing. I put it in there but i dont remember if the housing screws in or just slides in and the retaining fork thing keeps it in. Didnt want to try turning it to tighten and mess something up. What do i need to fix this? thanks

text: Twin Metals Minnesota LLC is the joint venture company between Duluth Metals Limited (60% ownership interest) and Antofagasta plc (40% ownership interest). In 2011, Twin Metals Minnesota LLC acquired Franconia Minerals Corporation. Franconia`s principal assets are a 70% interest in the Birch Lake, "old Maturi" (not including former Nokomis property) and Spruce Road deposits through the Birch Lake Joint Venture, with Beaver Bay Resources owning the remaining 30%. Franconia announced in November, 2010 its intention to increase its ownership at the Birch Lake Joint Venture to 82% upon commencement of production. All of the forgoing Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources are expressed as a 100% ownership position. Exploration Target tonnages reflect TMM's current 70% interest in a portion of these properties, which will increase to 82% upon production.The Mineral Resource Estimate discussed in the Technical Report incorporates assay data from 266 holes totalling 871,000 feet drilled on the Maturi deposit between 2006 and 2011, in addition to information from 99 legacy holes also in the geologic data base. The Birch Lake deposit resource estimate incorporates assay data from 65 holes totalling 155,000 feet drilled between 2000 and 2010, and information from an additional 14 legacy holes. The Spruce Road deposit resource estimate incorporates assay data from 210 legacy holes. The effective date of the mineral resource estimate is April 23, 2012. The new Mineral Resource estimate represents an increase in tonnage and metal over what was used in Duluth Metal's Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) of January 8, 2009. The current Prefeasibility Study that is underway will review the scale, timing, and development of the Twin Metals Minnesota Project such that the information is appropriate to this latest estimate; additional modifications to some assumptions in the current Prefeasibility Study are likely when the results of the planned Fall 2012 update to the Mineral Resource estimates are available. The January 8, 2009 PEA report should be considered no longer relevant to the Twin Metals Minnesota Project. A map showing the boundaries of the areas for which Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources have been estimated and the Exploration Target Areas can be found as part of this press release, and is posted on the Company website at http://www.duluthmetals.com. The Mineral Resource estimates in the Technical Report for the Maturi, Birch Lake and Spruce deposits are based on a 0.3% copper cut-off grade to define the resource model. Based on AMEC`s review of metal prices, process recoveries, refining costs and underground mine operating costs likely to apply at the Twin Metals site, the 0.3% copper cut-off grade (highlighted) is considered the base case for the statement of Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources at this time.

USA Tour Proves Huge Success
The Oxford Blues returned from a tour of the East Coast of the United States in April 2012, following in the footsteps of the Blues team 25 years earlier. The Ivy League tour proved a great success, with the Blues picking up victories at Yale and Columbia, and forming strong bonds off the field with their generous hosts.
A commemorative report of the Ivy League tour can be found at:
And video footage from the Yale fixture, as well as OUAFC's very own Skill Skool from Central Park is at:
Do keep watching to the end to find out who was crowned champion of Skill Skool...
The Blues are incredibly grateful to tour sponsors Betfair for making such an unforgettable trip possible.
Thanks also to the coaches, physios and players Yale, Harvard, NYAC, Columbia and Princeton, who extended generous hospitality throughout the tour, and would be eagerly welcomed in Oxford should they decide to visit the UK in future.
