14' Hemi vs V6 ride quality
Hello all. I am new to the forum but have been following it for a few months now.
In March I purchased a 14 LTD 6 cyl, 20's, sunroof. I was and am very impressed with this Jeep. So much so that I went got another - only differences are - Hemi and tow package.
I felt the 6 was great for regular driving but would need the Hemi for towing.
The Hemi has a few concerns that I have yet to have taken care of but first I'd like to get everyones opinion about the ride quality between the two.
I find the 6 cylinder has a much more confident ride, smoother, less bouncy. I am not nearly as impressed but the handling as I am with the pentastar engine.
Has anyone been able to drive both and notice any type of difference? (other than the obvious HP difference) I know the Hemi is heavier.
Other concerns with Hemi:
1) wheel vibration at 60mph. I had the tires balanced but there is still a slight vibration
2) pulls to right only on acceleration
3)blue smoke at start up.
I've been trying to search prior to posting.
Re: 14' Hemi vs V6 ride quality
Welcome to Jeep Garage! TWO 2014 GC's!?!? Rock on!
Re: 14' Hemi vs V6 ride quality
Long story but needed a tow hitch and hemi, selling pick up. Someone else is taking the 6 cylinder GC.
Thank you!
Re: 14' Hemi vs V6 ride quality
Do you have QuadraLift on your Hemi '14? That will give a different ride from a '14 without it; you'll think it's soft and bouncy at first because you're comparing it to every other car you've driven without air suspension. You get used to it soon, however, and then you'll like it better than those other suspensions. (At least I did.) Can't speak to the wheel vibration; pulling to the right; or blue smoke at startup - I've never experienced any of that with my '14 Hemi.
Re: 14' Hemi vs V6 ride quality
I'd be selfish and keep them both for myself.
Re: 14' Hemi vs V6 ride quality
Also the Hemi is about 200 lb heavier than the V6, all on the nose. To compensate the Hemi should have different spring rates in the front which would change the "feel".
Finally is the one vibrating at 60 a 4X4 ? If so I recall seeing something about out-of-balance halfshafts. Unless the tires are balanced on the car it would not show up.
Re: 14' Hemi vs V6 ride quality
They are both 4x4 Limiteds.
I just don't feel like going back to the dealer and them telling me its normal. The wheels were way out of balance.
Minor issues. Other than these they're great. No problems with radios at all.
So I drove the overland in v6 and v8 at the dealership. The v6 felt like it was struggling with how heavy the truck is. I went with v8 and loving it
Re: 14' Hemi vs V6 ride quality
Yes the Eco was on but who knows what the mileage is on v6 when u have it in sport all the time. I just thought driving the v8 felt really smooth and u couldn't hear the engine noise as much as the v6
Re: 14' Hemi vs V6 ride quality
Careful jeepoverlander, the V6 tribe is going to descend upon you like a pack of wild dogs with talk like that.
(I also test drove both engines and thought the V8 was superior performance-wise.)
Re: 14' Hemi vs V6 ride quality
I haven't driven a V6 14 model, but I drove a V6 and V8 13 model. The ride was very similar for the short run on the freeway and the only difference I noticed other than the power between the 2 engines was the cabin noise. The Hemi when you step on it and while idle is very noticeable and you know it's running while the V6 was more mellow and the sound proofing tuned it out very nicely.

As popular as Google is and considering its ever increasing stock price it probably shouldn't be a surprise to learn that search engine use is on the rise. According to a report by the Pew Internet and American Life Project, daily search engine use is up from one-third of all users in 2002 to just under 49%. In comparison, 60% of Internet users use email.
Search engine use rose an incredible 69% from January 2002 to May 2008. Using email as a comparison once again, it saw a growth rate of just 15% over the same time period. Based on growth alone, it is safe to say that search engine use is well on its way to match, if not surpass email use on the Internet.
Internet users check online news as the third greatest daily activity at 39% followed by checking weather at 30%. Though social networks like Facebook and MySpace are all the rage these days, visiting these sites doesn't seem to be a daily activity for the majority of Internet users. In fact, only about 13% of users reported visiting a social networking site every day.
Read more at the Pew Internet & American Life Project Report (PDF).
Brian's Opinion
These statistics emphasize the reason why Microsoft made a play for Yahoo! and why Google continues its impressive growth. Quite frankly, search engines are a hot commodity right now. Considering the number of websites that come online each day, it's no wonder why people have to use a search engine to find anything.
Of course, it helps that search engines are being designed for listing more than just websites these days. They are truly being engineered as a "one stop" location to look for websites, music, movies, books, directions and other bits of information. That's probably why their use is ever increasing.
It's not good enough for a search engine to simply list websites anymore. It really has to be an online library of information. Google has been very successful at adding functionality around its search engine very early on; and it is for this reason it is king of the search companies right now.

Getting Worked Up
We'll start by talking about arousal, or how keyed up, excited or motivated you get while executing an action. This has to do with being alert, both physically and mentally. Weightlifters and football players will often psych themselves up before an event and almost work themselves into frenzies, while a concert violinist may breathe deeply or meditate to calm down and lower their level of arousal before a performance. A lot of things happen when you're at a high level of arousal or "really psyched."
Generally, we want to be very keyed up, with adrenaline flowing, when we're trying to perform a simple task that doesn't require much thought or complex action. Running and doing pushups and sit-ups are activities where you want a high level of arousal. While in this state, you tend to feel pain and fatigue less and blood and oxygen are carried to your major muscles quickly. On the other hand, when you're performing an action that requires concentration and fine motor skills, like shooting or land navigation, you want less arousal. Being too keyed up will actually decrease performance because the parts of your brain responsible for concentration, visual-spatial skills and creative thinking become less active, essentially shutting down.
How Do You Perform Best?
Another point to consider is your personality type. Extroverts or thrill-seeking people generally perform better when they're more aroused while introverts tend to perform better when they're calmer, or less aroused. So, it's important to find your optimal level of arousal based on the task at hand and your personality type.
Things get interesting when you have to switch from high-intensity activities to low-intensity activities very quickly. Snipers are good at this. During training, they sprint and then drop to the ground and fire rounds into a target. They perform an activity (running) where a high level of arousal is needed and then suddenly transition to an activity (shooting) where a lower level of arousal is needed. Being in good physical condition lets them sprint without needing too much arousal, and breathing deeply before shooting lets them lower their heart rate and calm down, allowing them to shoot accurately.
–Dr. James Bender, former Army psychologist

On one of my main blogs I maintain several reference posts which are updated regularly in the hopes that they remain a valid resource for my readers. So far these posts have proven to be pretty beneficial to search engine traffic and well received by readers that reference them regularly.
If you run a blog where posts are regularly updated, you may want to consider updating your post meta data to also reflect the last modified date when applicable, rather than showing just the original posting date.
In order to do this, Ardamis has posted a quick code hack to get your single pages to reflect the last modified date. He uses the default Kubrick theme, but it easily apply to just about any theme.
As always, you'll want to make a backup of your single.php file (or any files you will be changing) before proceeding.
Look for the code that displays the post date. It should look something like the following:
Posted on: <?php the_time('l, F jS, Y') ?>
Now replace it with the following code (slightly modified from Ardamis' post):
Posted on <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?>
<?php $u_time = get_the_time('U');
$u_modified_time = get_the_modified_time('U');
if ($u_modified_time != $u_time) {
echo "and last modified on ";
the_modified_time('F jS, Y');
echo ". "; } ?>
Now your posts should show the last modified date immediately after the original posting date, rather than just showing the original post date! I use this on most of my blogs and I am very pleased with it.

This house is quite, clean, friendly and conveniently close to the shops. It has a wood fire which keeps the house warm in the cold days and if the sun is out it comes through the big windows which makes the house warm as well. The beds are very comfortable with good bed linen. There are not too many people so it is very relaxing. The landlord provides everything including the best tasting rice cooked in a Korean CUCKOO rice cooker. This house is highly suitable to Asian applicants.

I happen to own the Panasonic LZ-8, and as a professional digital camera instructor, I think that it offer a lot of bang for its low price. Just as does the Kodak Z-712 which is selling in the USA at $(US) 169.00.
I recently bought the LZ10 and it is certainly a flawed camera.
I found it to be at its best at the widest setting, and also for macro work.
At it's default setting I found it to be lacking in sharpness.
The ezoom settings - unlike Canon's - are a waste of time.
The movie mode is poor.
I am a professional photographer, but don't carry my pro equipment 24-7. I need a little point-and-shoot to carry all the time.
I have a Panasonic DMC-LZ5 and it is the best-point-and-shoot camera I own! Several reasons:
1) It uses AA batteries - I buy rechargable AA's but if you travel and cannot recharge you can buy new AA batteries anywhere! I found that out the hard way while on a trip and no access to plug in dead batteries. A quick stop at a local convenience store is now my backup battery plan.
2) The 6X optical zoom exceeds MOST pocket cameras in the price range. The New LZ10 is 5X zoom and again for a pocket camera it's OK - better than most!
3) It uses SD media cards which are the most universal.
I dropped the LZ5 and need to replace my favorite pocket camera now. I'm researching the series since the LZ5 to make the right choice, but I won't get anything other than a Panasonic DMC-LZ( )filling in the blank.
I recommend it for anyone needing an easy low cost pocket camera. Most people not shooting professionally will find that this economical camera will do a fine job.
Panasonic's new 10 mega pixel Touch Screen - FX520 - uses similiar internals ( with a wider lens )and it retails for $750...photoreview.com.au
They both have a great lens coupled with a undersized sensor - but the implementation and resulting features make for a pretty fine camera !
My wife bought an LZ10 and her main complaint is that it eats batteries. Your review said that you only got 40 pictures from a set of new alkaline batteries, but implied that they might have been old. No they weren't! Don't use ordinary AA batteries and expect to recharge others frequently.

International Year of Physics – Einstein and Patents
July 2005
Einstein at the Swiss Federal Patent Office (Photo Lucien Chavan)
2005, the International Year of Physics, marks the centenary of Albert Einstein's "Miracle Year" and the fiftieth anniversary of his death.
It was in 1905 that Einstein published four articles in the German monthly Annalen der Physik, which not only revolutionized physics and our understanding of the universe, but also changed our world. On a Heuristic Viewpoint Concerning the Production and Transformation of Light postulated the hypothesis of light quanta. On the Motion of Small Particles Suspended in a Stationary Liquid According to the Molecular Kinetic Theory of Induction explained Brownian motion. On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies is regarded as the seminal text of the theory of relativity. Does the Inertia of the Body Depend Upon Its Energy Content? looked at the consequences of the theory of relativity and introduced the most celebrated equation in physics: E = mc2. In April of the same year Albert Einstein finished writing his thesis A New Determination of Molecular Dimensions and defended it successfully in July.
The Miracle Year came in the middle of the period – from 1902 to 1909 – in which Einstein, possessing an undistinguished educational record and unable to obtain a teaching job in a university, was working as a technical assistant at the Swiss Federal Patent Office in Bern. Examining patent applications clearly did not absorb all Einstein's energies, as in the course of those seven years Einstein had some two dozen articles on theoretical physics published in the Annalen. Some commentators have even suggested a connection between his work on relativity and the problem of synchronizing clocks, a thorny one at the time, which accounted for a large number of Swiss patent applications. Later, Einstein was to write: "A profession with practical purposes is a delight for a man such as I; an academic career requires young researchers to produce science, and it takes a strong character to resist the temptation of superficial research."
Einstein the Inventor
Einstein's outstanding contribution to science needs no further words from WIPO Magazine. Less well known is that Einstein was himself an inventor with many patents to his name. Among other inventions, he and his pupil, Leó Szilárd, motivated by the death of a family from toxic fumes from their gas refrigerator, patented new types of refrigerators.
The patent rights sold to companies such as Electrolux in Sweden provided Einstein and Szilárd with a livelihood for a few years. Einstein's refrigerator was never commercialized, however, largely because of the Depression and the invention of chlorofluorocarbons. But recently there has been renewed interest in the system, as certain features could potentially suit it to use in remote locations or developing countries: it cannot wear out as it has no compressor nor moving parts; it can operate without electricity, requiring only a source of heat; and the cost of manufacture would be relatively low.
Time will tell whether Einstein's and Szilárd's invention ever sees commercial exploitation. It stands today as an intriguing example of a little gem preserved by the patent information system, providing an insight into the practical side of one of the greatest minds of the modern age.

Real Estate Law
Have Real Estate Law Questions? Ask a Real Estate Lawyer.
CitiMortgage and I didn't receive any money so that's a good question. So how do I find out because I never thought of that.
At that time I didn't know anything about how to obtain a title to my parents house so I went to the mortgage company to find out what to do. That's when they told me this and I believed them. I was in no mental condition to dispute them until know. I was trying to do things by the book. By the way thank you for making your question more sense Im a little slow. Also in rescission between 2008 to2011 the law and insurance wrote rescission is the termination of contract from the beginning as it never existed rendering it void. The president permently withholding already appropriated funds was about 15 billion just for the purpose of procedure the motion to recend repeal or annul. Is this true. I received a letter saying that I could claim payment amount is based on100 percent of all eligible borrowers submitting claim forms due to lost of primary residence to floreclosure between 2008 to 2011 against mortgage company. I this true.
will wait for post thank you kindly
I'm sorry it took me so long to answer . It was not a mortgage company it was a title company . They claim to be trust worthy, loyal to , and they would look out for our best interest. Further more you assumed right , There are so many company involved the I had to stop and think for a min. I am very sorry, I went and got a history of listed owners at public records it states that after mom it was my sister , then brother, then the mortgage company, but it was not them . So how can they have contract by deed only they worded it different back then and we was not sure about anything . The title comp. and another mortgage was the original note holder and adviser I believe that due to concealment of materials misrepresentation was made and undue influence resulted in loss of regarding property disposition through contemporaneous psychological domination by an advisor.Parties may claim an interest in property by mistake or fraud with claims being inconsistent with each other. we were not in default of the time allowed to claim or public announce ownership we just did not know how , we did not know at time and / or realized that they had mortgage insurance in place to help ,but who . They were always about them and the almighty dollar bill with disregard of .. doesn't US back them and I presume that they also claim the funds and insurance . I know they do know I read it . Is in that a "Breech of Trust." Again thank you so much for hearing me out . Do you have any suggestions that may help .

Boy... I could easily spend the next several days, weeks months, or even longer... wondering which of the current situational understandings was more bothersome?
Politico reporting that Bernie would be a full fledged Clinton Surrogate, before the end of June..
Bernie actually becoming a Clinton Surrogate.
The impact of an entire generation, shaking it's collective head, would have on the Richter Scale...
Dealing with the fallout from a Clinton Surrogacy...a Clinton Presidency, both and more...
Witnessing the lengths to which a person who has absolutely no life, will go to, in order to unsuccessfully endeavor to injure others...
Listening to really good people, be as confused as the law allows...as to why Bernie hasn't opened his mouth to contradict the Politico story...
Forget about the whole, bad things happening to good people. There's enough negativity in the world today, in general to just shake your head in disappointment, and wonder if your vote really does count... Since California STILL hasn't counted 2,000,000 of them... Literally... and will soon certify it's election results, anyway.
Well, yes... The Politico article did, once again use, as it's source...Tad Devine. Tad is as we know, a Democratic Operative since the early 1980's.
He's also the guy who got threatened by the DNC with oblivion, early enough in the campaign cycle, to essentially and very effectively sabotage the Sanders Campaign.
If he disputes this...
Let him say so.
I don't say this about Tad, while hiding on the web behind some "Anonymous" web-based cloak that frees me up to slander someone at will...like a little pussy.
I openly and comfortably state that Tad sold Bernie down the river...long before Bernie appears to have at least perhaps contemplating doing the same to the more than 12,000,000 who altered some aspect of their lives in support of his candidacy.
So, Tad... If you take issue with something that I say... You know who I am, and where to find me.
Bernie, actually BEING a Clinton Surrogate??
I'm not sure I need to even further address the issue of disappointment at that notion. I just can't figure out how Bernie could live with himself, should that characterization of his earthly existence EVER become true.
I won't yet ACCEPT the claims in the Politico story as being true, however... Because, while Bernie hasn't at all disputed them... He hasn't adopted, as his own... either.
And, to that extent, even having a certain degree of doubt... I judge a person by what I see...not by what I hear. Especially, when the source of what I am hearing, is a complete, lying piece of shit, who is soulless, amoral, and leads such a wasted, nonexistent life, that a true Christian would pray for their deliverance and salvation... rather to to wish evil befall him.
I know I feel this way.
For at least the past five days, I've been dealing with a difficult family circumstance, and yes, mulling over the question of why bad things happen to very good people.
It has been troubling. But, at the same time, has allowed me to put so much in perspective.
None of what anyone says, in 140 characters on Twitter, or in any manufactured article in Politico, or other bullshit story, regardless of origin, ow whether it is thought that medical condition is genetic, environmental, or otherwise...is Life or Death.
Life is life... And, death is death.
And, absolutely little else matters.
When a loved one is injured...by illness, accident, freak life situation, or circumstance...or by any means at all... I don't need to waste time pondering the question, "Why"...or even "Who"...or "How".
I just remind them how loved they are, and make sure they know that whatever can be done to heal them, to comfort them, or to protect them... will be done.
This applies to the medical issue before me, the whole issue of the Movement conceived, nurtured and developed by Bernie, being systematically dismantled in a way designed to cause it's Members to never believe another politician, as long as they live... And, it goes the slanderous attacks leveled at me, as well.
Rest assured... There is no power on earth that can harm a good, decent and honorable human being.
My family member will survive and thrive, regardless of what might be said or done to suggest otherwise. There is no one Greater than He to whom I pray. And, His decisions, are final.
Bernie will or won't become a Clinton Surrogate... Not, because of some uncorroborated ranting of Tad Devine... who took Bernie's money and secured his trust and confidence... while actively undermining his Campaign... But, because Bernie will have evaluated his own situation and determined for himself, what kind of person HE really is...and how much of his revolution was ever real.
And, I will continue to take positions on topics having political relevance, which my academic knowledge and acquired understanding, render worthy of your consideration.
Those who have come to know my suffering family member, Bernie Sanders, and even myself, have seen with their own eyes, heard with their own ears, and experienced with their own being, what any of us stand for, what we are about, and why no amount of negativity in any form, or from any source, should, would, or ever could enter into this Chapter of the Book of Life...in any way.
And, it won't.
Out of trial, comes triumph. And, next month, when Bernie, my challenged family member, and I...are all in the very same place, at the very same time... while all who would seek to do any of us harm, are wondering how it could be possible that none of their malicious efforts have been successful... Good Will trump evil, yet again.
Of course, I wish that Bernie WILL assume his rightful role as a candidate for President. Of course, I hope, the experimental medical procedures to be employed on my loved one, are successful. And, of course, I hope that readers of this blog continue to see clearly, that my heart and have always been in the right place...and the postings I have taken... worthy of your time, and intelligent discussion.
I thank you all for for prayers, your continuing support of Bernie & the Movement, and your unwillingness to also anonymous internet pussies who hide behind anonymity, alter for perception of an honorable person who has earned your trust by his actions, and not by leading the woeful existence of a useless pile of wasted rotting flesh.

It is a sound first heard in 2005 on Cyrus' well-received 'Random Trio EP', and two of the cuts from that record appear again here. Cyrus formed Random Trio with Omni in 2002, and after stints at the legendary Rinse FM, and ingrained with the eternal spirit of South London's pirate radio scene, Cyrus now seems to be branching more out into his own sound world to great effect.
His music has often been compared to Burial's urban melancholy, and at times there are parallels with Photek's drill n bass or Shackleton's ethnic percussive pressure, particularly on 'Indian Stomp', the most emotive track on the album. But overall such comparisons are misleading. Cyrus almost comes across more old school, more breakbeat science, but at a slower pace. You wont find Burial's sensitivity, 'From The Shadows' has instead the lucid urban dream/nightmare qualities of Aphex Twin's 'Selected Ambient Works II', particularly on tracks such as 'Mind Games' and 'Dirt'. And where Photek and Shackleton are sculptured, Cyrus is almost completely modular: there is a strange absence of fluidity, in its place a pure construction ethic, with parts of beats put together like Lego. And even though the tracks are built from similar pieces, the overall effect is strangely diverse.
'From The Shadows' gathers pace and intensity as it moves on, such that by the end it seems almost frantic. The key to this effect is the space and detail in the snare sounds, which add gas to the kick drum breaks as the album warms up. And while there isn't much bass to be found, it's not completely absent. 'The Watcher', for example, contains a signature dubstep bass, yet it is played almost like a fat, pulsing drone than a real bootylicious bottom end. Tracks such as 'Paradise Dub' and 'Calm Before The Storm' are underpinned by traces of bass warble, too. Indeed, if you listen carefully, you'll hear yet beautiful waves of almost invisible deepness in every track.
Which is why 'From The Shadows' is not really music for the iPod. It is an album of almost inaudible sounds, subtleties, inflections and sleight of hand. Headphones will give you a clue where to listen, but the volume knob certainly puts the physicality of this music in its rightful place. You could do a lot worse than give yourself some ear damage by turning this one up.

At PSA: Claire Donato Meditates on Her Second Book, The Second Body
Claire Donato is featured this week for PSA's "In Their Own Words"! Donato–whose second collection of poetry, The Second Body, is now out from Poor Claudia–penned an essay called "The Second Bodies," which meditates on the book's title poem. Read an excerpt below.
12. In the middle of this essay, the second body arrives, marking me possessed.
13. In my spare time, I read (past and present tense) books about the couple-form, a container I desire to burn. It is through this container that patriarchy wraps its hands around that which courses through these lines: settle down! settle down! So there is a second body in this, and there is a second second body that is the product of this, and there is an oppressive body comprised of two—a third body—that "stands in for desire itself, after enshrined, funneled, and reduced to a single object by patriarchy" (Clémence X. Clementine and associates from the Infinite Venom Girl Gang, "Against the Couple-Form"). How to unravel it?
14. In this sentence, I take possession between my palms and set it ablaze. Heterosexuality burns. Jealousy burns. Monogamy burns. The bed is on fire. The bath towels are aflame. So too are my palms a hot glowing second body shooting in and out of exhaust. A black cat crosses the frame. Then another. Now I am standing in the center of a circle lined with pain. Never will I wed: this sentence is accompanied by the coloratura mezzo-soprano whose voice suffers sudden malfunctions, glitches serving as units of time vanquishing abuses. As the fire rages, this sentence renders cultural constructions of love that bring forth the Second Body Obsolete. When the marital bower goes up in flames, all that is left are the rings.

Feature #4203
Wounding/Body armor system
|Start date:
|Due date:
|% Done:
|Target version:
|Estimated time:
|99999.00 hours
|Affected Version:
|Close Reason:
After numerous experiments with the handleDamage EH I came up with a framework that will allow us to create a detailed (very detailed, if we decide to) and much or less 'realistic' wounding system, including body armor simulation. The information we can get out of the EH, sometimes using some backwards formulae, is as follows:
1. Type of ammo that hit the unit
2. Its 'hit' value (aka kinetic energy) at the moment of impact
3. Its velocity at the moment of impact (absolute value, not the vector)
4. The hit part (there are 4: head, torso, legs and hands)
5. Direction the bullet came from
The possibilities it opens up (that I came up with so far) are:
- Custom wounding effects for each of the 4 hit zones.
- Custom wounding/body armor penetration effects for different ammo types.
- Body armor simulation (why not make it destructible and allow for it to be changed/taken off during the mission).
- No more accumulative hitpoints b/s, shooting an MG belt's worth of ammo at someone's legs won't make him die, but sure will make him lose mobility and loose a lot of blood.
- People in hit/blown up vehicles are also at our disposal.
Atm all I have is the basic structure that allows to retrieve and calculate all the useful info from the EH and trigger respective custom effects, and the knowledge I alone won't pull such a massive task off.
Right now I need the thoughts on:
Effects for different hit zones (head/torso/hands/legs). What I have in mind now:
1. Light concussion - ear ringing, blurred vision (using pp effects)
2. Heavy concussion - temp. blindness, deafness, knockdown.
3. Unconsciousness
1. Grazing wounds, bullets stopped by the vest - slight pain, maybe knock down
2. Light wounds with nothing vital affected - blood loss, pain
3. Serious wounds (internal haemorrhage, collapsed organs etc) - heavy blood loss, shock, uncosciousness
1. Increased shake (hurray for setHit)
2. Inability to use long weapons
3. Inability to use any weapons, as well as drive etc
4. In all cases bleeding
1. Negative stamina effects, inability to move fast
2. Loss of the ability to walk (setHit)
3. Probability of heavy bleeding/pain etc
These are what I came up with, having only superficial knowledge about actual gunshot wounds. We should design both AI and player effects.
Another area that needs research and evaluation is the common kinds of body armor and the behaviour of different ammo types against them (probability of penetration vs. distance or velocity, wounding effects of a stopped or penetrated bullet).
Also we need to figure out a good handling of HE/frag damage. Unfortunately it's impossible to tell how far a grenade or whatever blew up, but something can be deduced from the damage received and its config hit values.
Apart from all of this, a healing system should be built from the ground up.
It's a huge task, and we need the team effort to pull it off. Right now I'm concentrating on the module that retrieves/calculates all the information about an impact and passes it to the custom damage functions. Later some basic custom hit effects and body armor handling might follow.

really good information there.
Also agreed with the list, of course on the go, some get get some more attention - detail the specific issue.
I am also in agreement that the healing system should be build from grounds up rather than fixed - read try to.
Regarding body armor: do you thing of this to be model/object that one should equip, or based on the armor type modeled for the existing characters?
Updated by Scubaman3D almost 8 years ago
cool ideas Q. I'm available to help with whatever you think I'm able to do.
Updated by rocko almost 8 years ago
I am for armor based on modelled appearance. If I see no vest, he really does not have a vest. Not sure how far an addon system can reach for that by rendering available ballistic vests and allowing them to be worn. Similar to ace_sys_goggles it could be made.
Updated by Squelch almost 8 years ago
Excellent proposals. I'm a bit worried that head wounds are underdone. A full hit to the head would cause not just unconsciousness, but instant death in many cases for gameplay purposes ie >0.75 damage to that selection.
We have had handshit etc for a long time, but they have always been underutilised. As a rough check of the status and ultimate combat readiness of the unit, I think they could be used in conjunction with handleDamage EH.
Also, I strongly believe we should make any affects impede the AI too. The AI tends to cheat in many cases, and by not including them into this framework might lead people to be tempted to turn it off in the same way they wanted in ACE1 due to the unfair advantage the AI was seen to get. If this cannot be done, then it should only be applied when PvP games are in progress so all players are affected equally.
A fine grained wounding system is long overdue, and A2 offers better tools to achieve this. This existing code from ACE1 should be archived, and only called on where it will be prudent to do so. A major rewrite is the best approach imho.

Updated by q1184 almost 8 years ago
Figured out how to reverse-calculate distance to an exploded projectile with fair accuracy, if it's farther than indirecthitrange meters from the unit. If it's within the indirecthitrange, max. damage is applied regardless of the distance so it's impossible to find it out. It opens up a possibility to account for both blast (if closer than indirecthitrange) and frag (if outside of it) damage. Explosive ammo might get several config entries, such as fragments density, energy and max effective distance, which would affect the probability, type and severity of a fragment-caused injury.
Updated by dslyecxi almost 8 years ago
An important thing to note here re: the head is that helmets do not have an impact in ArmAx. Thus, "overdoing" head effects helps to compensate for that to a degree. I would rather err on the side of caution for head hits - having pistols or really long-range battle rifle shots potentially not insta-kill isn't a bad thing.
Ultimately, from a gameplay perspective you get much cooler results by wounding people than outright killing them. Erring on the side of caution (less damage) here is the safer and potentially more enjoyable path to take, in my opinion.

This is really all awesome to read! Really looking forward to such a awesome system.
I have played a bit today with the newest SLX Version in conjunction with latest Beta-Patch and i like Solus approach in many ways very much. The Animations when someone is hit and knocked down are really lovely (Stock A2?), looks very natural and realistic. Same goes for the Animationn on the Ground like crawling/rolling in pain and screaming after a massive hit.
I of course have a few suggestions i've already had during Arma1/ACE1 times and i just list them here again as it seems its more feasible with a whole new system:
1. Loose Weapon(s) when hit at a specific spot with specific damage (SLX approach is really nice made)
2. Be able to "disarm" someone knocked to the ground/someone unconscious. This Mess with killing all wounded Enemies from Arma1/ACE1 was not the ideal solution/way.
3. Be able to take a disarmed Enemy as Prisoner-of-War, for instance after you gave him medication and disarmed him. (SLX way is very nice made!)
4. A Medic should have a higher succes-rate in treating wounds than a normal Soldier.
5. Creating additional Medic-Class which is free of the "magical-healing"(setdamage=0). So a Mission Designer can choose if he placed a Medic which can setdamage=0 or someone which is "only" equipped with Proper Medical Equipment for treating ACE2 Wounds.
Updated by rocko over 7 years ago
- Medics in A2 have the option "To heal someone else".
When you are wounded and not a medic and close to a medic, you won't get that action known from A1 "Heal at ...".
Only medics can apply that action on wounded. Not vice versa.
- Loosing weapons vs. weapon sling
Maybe small arms.

I know this, but it would be nice to have medics without that option/ability, or else "they" will make use of it, when controlled by AI or Human players
- Loosing weapons vs. weapon sling
Maybe small arms.
Weapon sling is indeed an argument...
Updated by mr.g-c over 7 years ago
Sorry for bothering again: But after reading the whole ACE2 topic in BI-Forums (about the wounding potential of certain round types) and reading the point "1." in Q1184 first post, why not also simulate wounding potential based on round type, if you can go already that detailed with the system?
For instance, add a Entry like "ACE_WoundCoefficient = x.xx" into each config-class of the ammo-types and query it later on (when hit "object" is a human and bullet passed through armor), to decide how strong wounds and the resulting bleeeding/pain/other relevant factors, will be.
So you can give a higher WoundCoefficient on 5.56mm Nato compared to 7,62x39mm Russian AK47 type, which could mean that a Guy hit with the higher WoundCoefficient-Value bullet will bleed much faster to death, than when hit with a lower valued round into the same area.
What you think?
Updated by Sedim over 7 years ago
Ammo needs more than a wound coefficient, it also needs a penetration value. 00 buckshot can mess a person up, but its not going to make it through body armour. A full metal jacket round on the other hand has a better chance of penetrating body armour, but can still over penetrate and do less wounding damage.
EDIT: Just looked at http://dev-heaven.net/issues/show/3822. Apparently A2 already supports this, the data just needs to be put together.

Hi, yes thats why the "wound-coefficient" could be a additional config-value on top of the other things already doable. I'm aware of the other possibilities doable, like penetration values and so on and it was suggested for the people knowing what can be done, for instance like the ACE-Devs.... :-)

Updated by Xeno over 7 years ago
Beta 2 sounds good, a basic version (a little bit like the ACE 1 version, but just a little bit and completely rewritten from scratch) might be reachable for Beta 1 (activate it by placing a module ?).
Still trying to balance things (handledamage kills me) and it needs a MP test (mainly for the animations, rest should be fine). One small script running for each unit (I still have to transfer it to FSM).
What's working:
- Examine
- Epi
- Morphine
- Bandages
- Bleeding
- Blackouts (AI and players may wake up, depending on damage state, including FX effects for blackouts and bleeding)
- Drag uncon units
- Carry uncon units
- Pull uncon units out of vehicles
- No magic healing for medics
- Sounds
- Medic boxes with bandages, mash and medic vehicles have their set of medic stuff (currently the same as in ACE 1)
- and so on
Not much more possible in two weeks.
Updated by mr.g-c over 7 years ago
Wow this sounds very good if its at least like it was in ACE1.
Not much more possible in two weeks.
"Not much more" sounds like a farce, You say you have written a complete system like the one from ACE1 in "only" two weeks?! Outstanding! That is fabulous! :-)
But will it be expandable like in Q1184s first post, means have you made it that expandable, or does it means you have then to rewrite it again from scratch?

The stuff I made (handledamage, body armor etc) is in the test branch, it seems you weren't aware of it.
Updated by ViperMaul over 7 years ago
Actually he was aware of its existance. And I sent him all of your work.
However, because we were lucky to have any Dev with skills, and time and willing to work on the component, I gave him some simple goals to start out. And I gave him full leadership over the project so we can actually keep a dev working on such an important project.
The simple goals:
Make a basic version first that has good server performance for MP first. If we can make a Beta 2 release before Christmas great. After we have this then we can expand and work towards our original goals making a more detailed vision as the one you described.
But I didn't want too much pressure on the Xeno since it is a very important core component.
Updated by q1184 over 7 years ago
Oh, makes sense now. And thank you Xeno for stepping up and taking the system over :)
Updated by Sickboy over 7 years ago
Awesome Xeno!
If a basic system (manually activated), can be reached at the pub beta, we at least can claim victory on the fact that there is a system available, at the first release.
While tweaking, or further finalization can happen on the daily builds?
But, I'm sure the public can live with some more days of BI AIS etc, when deemed impossible :P
Updated by Xeno over 7 years ago
The system must be activated by a module currently :)
What I have done today is MP testing, adding drag and carry for dead units (you can pick up any dead unit on the battlefield, nobody gets left behind, works fine in MP) and removing medic or medic vehicle magic healing completely. The problem is, that vehicles or objects don't fire the handleHeal eventhandler, so I had to replace their configs to get rid of it. This means, even if the wounds system isn't enabled you get no magic healing at those objects. You have to rely on medics then. If somebody has a better solution, let me know.
But most important was that all animations worked out of the box in MP (knock on wood :), no setVehicleInit used yet).
Unconscious units are forced into death animations to get rid of that strange "lying on the back and rolling left or right" animations that BI uses.
Updated by Sickboy over 7 years ago
Very nice news Xeno!
I have no ideas atm, but ill try to come up with some :)
Do we do any checks to verify if BIS AIS etc aren't currently active? Might be a good check to add :P
Updated by q1184 over 7 years ago
If default ambulances/tents do not heal anymore, we can create additional "magic" classes with enabled healing, so at least new missions will work fine without the module, old missions will require modification though.
Edit: A script that automatically replaces objects with disabled healing with their magical counterparts if wounding module is disabled might be an idea.
Updated by fireship4 over 7 years ago
These two updates in the ArmA2 beta may be of use in this case:
[59691] Improved: Small hit be ignored by hitpoints (configurable by minimalHit)
[59668] Improved: Hitpoint can pass only a part of the hit to the total damage (passthrough setting no longer ignored).
Also I dont know about real world, but soldiers probably fall over if they are hit solidly even if they are not injured, the kinetic enery/shock/pain will knock them down (or on overpenetration make them fall over many times) im sure. I remember in particular the video from Iraq(?) where a soldier is hit and goes down like a log. He's down for a couple of seconds then picks himself up and runs behind a HUMVEE. Obviously you wouldnt be knocked over every time you are hit but still.
PS I didnt put quote tags around the patch notes. Woo spooky.
Updated by CAS over 7 years ago
Great news Xeno!
It's great to see that you could implement the transportation of all kind of body's (including the dead) into the simulation!
Nice that magic healing is gone!
Do not use your costly time to implement Epi and Morphine. Those two will not save injured soldiers!
Most important is the handling of blood loss.
The procedure to apply bandages should take time (medics could have a bonus in speed and effectiveness)
Bleeding should only be reduced by bandages (depending on the injury); it would only be stopped by reaching a destination simulating an operation facility (fx. med tends stop bleeding but do not heal). This would encourage a rapid MEDEVAC and make it more exiting on the way.
If you have time to implement more advanced medical features I would vote for airway handling and pneumothorax treatment. This can save lives in this kind of setting.
I only now got aware of dev-heaven after I made some posts with link to a relevant article in the BI forum.
I am a real live doctor and would be happy to support you with your project if you have any questions!
Updated by CarlGustaffa over 7 years ago
If "magic" healing is removed from everything in the game, how are we supposed to get back into the fight? I'm all for medevac in certain missions that can support it, but keep in mind that many squads are too small to have this as a valid playable option. If all we do all night is medevac due to injuries, the gaming night (a few hours once a week) will be pretty much ruined for some of us.
I'm a bit concerned about nullifying the regular medic stuff (although unrealistic). I'd rather have new medics, vehicles, and tents where this ability is fixed (removed). Editing of most missions is ok by me, but how about the campaign stuff? Not having a "regular medic" in the campaign I believe would make it unplayable. And it's not something for everyone to edit.
How about old system if ACE_wound logic is not present, and new system when it is present? Is that even doable?
Then again, I might have to play before I speak to much :)

That is exactly how it is working currently.
If the logic isn't placed, you get vanilla ArmA 2 magic healing. Medics and medic vehicles that is.
Btw, although it is a module logic, you don't need to sync units against it, just place it in the editor. In contrast to how BI uses modules (you have to sync groups or units). Means, it will work even for JIP players and when AI is disabled.

Of curse it would only work in new missions. ARMA has the feature to re spawn instead of an AI soldier. If you are injured you can leave your injured character behind and re spawn as a new "reserve" soldier. The reserve AI soldiers can either be hold back in the second line of fighting or back at the base. You (or your team) still would have to take care of your former character, the causality. Would be a good thing for team play with focus on slow approaches. It would be more important to communicate where team members are and what status they have. If you get shot it is no longer only your personal problem but a problem to the entire team.
This would make things more realistic.
Defibrillators, Epi, Morphine, and battlefield heal only make it unrealistic in a different way. (I like the magic heal for some games; I would only love to see a game with a realistic alternative)
Updated by CarlGustaffa over 7 years ago
Yes, tested it today. Modded dom with module has no magic healing, and testing grounds without module has magic healing. Just as I wanted it. Thx.
I don't think I have ever respawned for the sake of convenience. Except during testing or due to bugs which I'll usually play out for quite some time. Yes I agree, some "game modes" needs the "magic" due to lack of proper players, but I don't mind advanced stuff either in more mature games.

After a lot of thought and even more planning we are going to give this a go again. Let's call this post the catch up post.
(The front yard when we moved in )
But in January of 2013 we had a opportunity to buy our own place. Still in town and still urban (well, in my mind suburban) and still a small plot of land. However, it was a lot more space to grow things... if we did a lot of prep work first. There was a huge tree in the front yard (which faces south, so prime growing space) that was dying and had to be address. The dirt was clay and terrible.
So we started with just figuring out where the sun is in the yard. It isn't, so much, as it turns out. The front has great southern exposure. The back is north facing and the neighbors on either side of us both have giant trees in their yards. Which shade the back most of the year. Matt, being a fan of spreadsheets, created one in which he charted the placement of the sun in the back yard. It's impressive, if you like that sort of thing.
Then we had the tree removed. It wasn't really a choice. We had a very bad winter with lots of snow and lots of cold (not normal for our climate). Followed by a hot summer. And I noticed that the tree started doing a rapid die off. Concerned for the house itself, we had the tree removed. When that happened he noticed just how much sun the front actually gets and how much room is out there. It's a lot!
(after the tree was removed)
And that brings us pretty current. Matt has built the beds and irrigation for the front, that is a couple of posts that will go into detail of the process.
So welcome to the journey that will be the F5 Farmstead.

To stand any real prospect of cutting climate change emissions by 60% by 2025, a coherent and concerted approach must be sustained year on year, regardless of the political colour of administrations (Economics, July 7). Therefore indications that Boris Johnson's "forensic audit" of the London Development Agency will identify the environment as a "soft" area, where outcomes are hard to measure, is of great concern.
London has been leading the way on tackling climate change. With the London Climate Change Agency, the LDA has built up programmes and teams carefully designed to tackle the main sources of emissions in the capital, especially residential buildings, commercial and public sector buildings, and energy supply. Individual projects include large-scale decentralised energy projects, the Green 500 and Better Buildings Partnership, aimed respectively at tenants and owners of office buildings, and the Green Homes Service, providing a full "advice to installation" service to help householders cut energy use and emissions.
This highly innovative programme of work has been running for little more than a year. To cut it back, or radically change course, before it has been given time to yield significant results would be disastrous. The new London mayor should resist calls to cut a programme which has the potential to deliver many millions of tonnes of carbon savings.

Cops Foil Graffiti Plot
Police say a suspected graffiti artist from Rensselaer was busted with a bag of 15 cans of spray paint.
It happened early Monday morning on Central Avenue when two officers on patrol – Daniel Seeber and Jason Wilson – spotted a man underneath the railroad bridge near Vatrano Road.
The bridge has been a frequent target of vandals and neighbors had repeatedly complained so there had been extensive time and effort to cover up the graffiti, police said.
Erik Savage, 22, of Rensselaer, was arrested around 12:30 a.m. Monday and found in possession of approximately 15 cans of different colored spray paint, police said. He also had gloves and liquid paint, police said, and was taken into custody without incident and charged with Possession of Graffiti Instruments. Savage was arraigned in the Albany City Criminal Court and released.

Friends recall VT soldier killed in Iraq
08/26/09 9:24AM By Charlotte Albright
(HOST) School started this week at St. Johnsbury Academy, but the campus seemed subdued as news travelled about the death of Joey Fortin, class of 2004. According to military reports, the vehicle he was riding in while on patrol was hit by an improvised explosive device. His parents and young wife are not yet speaking to the media, but VPR's Charlotte Albright gathered memories of the popular student at his alma mater.
(ALBRIGHT) This track team jogging around the Academy's leafy campus may be too young to remember Joey Fortin, who graduated five years ago. But their coach, science teacher Chip Langmaid, says he made a quiet impression with his positive attitude and helpfulness:
(LANGMAID) "Just a nice, a very nice young man. It really is a shame."
(ALBRIGHT) Headmaster Tom Lovett is a close friend of Fortin's parents, and remembers with a smile how the quiet young freshman mustered the courage to play a major role in a school play. Joey Fortin may not have made a big splash in the yearbook, but Lovett says he was well loved by both his peers and his teachers.
(LOVETT) "Joey was a good soul. He was a hard worker, worked to improve, supported his classmates and team-mates. I will remember Joey most of all for his character. He was the kind of person that we hope every one of our graduates would be: outstanding everywhere he was, in terms of responsibility, compassion, and honesty."
(ALBRIGHT) Fortin loved baseball and worked hard at it, even though he spent more time than he wanted on the bench. His coach and math teacher, Peter Wright, says he set a shining example that will keep his memory alive at the Academy.
(WRIGHT) "He would do the right thing, he behaved himself, he followed rules, he was very respectful, he liked people, he was willing to help people and I think that was very important and that separates him from some of his classmates that way."
(ALBRIGHT) Joey Fortin got married just over a year ago to a St J. Academy classmate, Nicquelle Desilets. He leaves behind his parents, Martin and Betsy Fortin, and two older sisters. Funeral arrangements are in progress. St. Johnsbury Academy will hand out red white and blue ribbons in his honor this Friday, and will also start a memorial fund for the family.

Under Investigation
CREW has compiled a list of Congress members likely under investigation by the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the House Ethics Committee, the Senate Select Committee on Ethics (Senate ethics committee),the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE), and in some cases, the Federal Election Commission (FEC). Due to the secrecy surrounding these investigative bodies, the list is compiled from press reports. On October 30, 2009, The Washington Post revealed a leaked House Ethics Committee memo documenting the investigative activities surrounding House members by the House Ethics Committee and/or the OCE. The OCE was created in 2008 to review allegations of misconduct against members of the House and refers matters to the House Ethics Committee for further action. As a result, it is not always clear which body is investigating the member.

Thunderstorms are expected to develop across the Dakotas this evening as a shortwave trough approaches and moisture advection ensues ahead of the related surface low over the Central/Northern Plains. A capping inversion will likely delay convective initiation to the west until early evening, with convection not looking to reach west central MN until around midnight. Have tweaked POP/WX grids to reflect a delayed onset, with showers and thunderstorms becoming widespread across MN counties between 05z and 11z as the low level jet increases to 50+ knots. The activity looks to spread across west central WI around/after daybreak Wednesday. With precipitable water values nearing 2 inches during this time frame, heavy downpours and street flooding in urban areas will be a concern. Temperatures will generally moderate 5-7 degrees from Monday`s readings given the increasing heights and mixing supplied by breezy southerly winds. Highs will range from 75 to 80 degrees. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Monday) Issued at 416 AM CDT Tue Jun 27 2017 Widespread showers and thunderstorms will be ongoing early Wednesday morning across much of the Upper Mississippi Valley region. A seasonally strong 50-60 kt LLJ will veer easterly Wednesday morning, taking the impressive moisture transport and the bulk of the convection with it. It is unclear how the rest of the day will unfold convectionwise, but the current thinking is that showers and storms will clear out for a time late morning into early afternoon before another mid level wave rotates through. NAM shows little or no atmospheric recovery behind the first round, while the GFS and Euro show quick destabilization during the afternoon. The WRF-NMM and to a slightly lesser degree the WRF-ARW also show this, with thunderstorms redeveloping around mid afternoon across eastern MN and working east into WI by early evening. Shear isn`t too favorable for severe thunderstorms with mid level winds easing as the base of the trough pushes through, but a few severe storms are possible across southeastern MN near the belt of stronger mid level westerlies across Iowa into northern IL and southern WI. With the surface front settling down to the I-80 corridor Thursday, we should have a break in the action before another trough dives southeast across the Northern Plains Thursday night. An inverted trough will settle in Friday. Several waves rotating around an upper low with weak surface based instability should generate numerous showers and thunderstorms with daytime heating Friday. Activity will wane Friday evening and then regenerate again Saturday. Increased PoPs through this period to high chance or low end likelies. The trough will begin to lift out Sunday, and ridging building eastward across the southern Plains will allow a system to propagate across the central Plains to the Midwest Sunday night and Monday. There is a lot of variability with this system, but it could bring another round of soaking rain. The pattern is showing more signs of changing drastically later next week with the ridge shifting from the Desert Southwest to the central U.S. Heights building to 595 DM centered over the central Plains will send a hot and potentially very humid airmass northward back to the Upper Midwest. Tough to say so far out if the pattern will favor MCS development in our neck of the woods, or if it will be dry and capped. Nonetheless, a big difference from the last half of June. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Wednesday morning) Issued at 505 AM CDT Tue Jun 27 2017 VFR conditions are expected through most of this evening. High clouds will be on the increase this afternoon/eve ahead of an approaching low pressure system. Associated showers and thunderstorms will spread eastward across the area after 05z Wednesday, reaching the MN/WI border around 10z. South/southwest winds will increase for this afternoon ahead of the system, generally reaching 15g25kt speeds between 17-18z (with the exception of KEAU where gusts are not expected).

RE: Nov. 26 Infrastructure must adapt to climate change: Canadian Construction Association
GRG Building Consultants Inc. completed a study on the effects of climate change on a high-rise residential building in Toronto.
We used the protocol specifically developed by Engineers Canada for this type of assessment. The building was constructed in the mid 1960s and included design and use elements typical of the vintage. GRG maintains a considerable expertise in the required repairs and upgrades on buildings and this one is no exception.
While it is clear that the Building Codes will have to change to accommodate the effects of climate change, of particular interest is the effect that climate change will have on the required remediation of our enormous existing building stock.
Issues such as the expected increase in temperature and, most particularly, the increased frequency and length of time people and buildings would be experiencing hotter temperatures, sets in play requirements for cooling that have not been previously considered for older buildings.
Since the heating and ventilation systems in those buildings typically did not allow for air conditioning, the questions engineers will have to answer in the upcoming decade include, how to retrofit in air conditioning, increased mechanical ventilation and what form it takes.
Is it tied to window retrofit with special AC sleeves? Is it by PTAC units added to walls? Is it by installing new central systems that don't have the room (yet) for those systems? Is it by dedicating floors or parts of floors for cooling centres?
The challenges ahead are deep and fascinating.
As well, building envelope systems including windows and wall components must be redesigned to accommodate increased wind-driven rain pressure and possibly, a broader range of thermal movement to accommodate anticipated temperature extremes.
Most people consider that a couple of degrees of temperature increase won't have that great an effect on buildings or the occupants but that only represents average conditions.
The predictions are that it will be the short term extreme conditions that engineers will have to design for. This applies to both existing and new buildings.
Thank you for the article. These issues are quite important.

I am looking for a concealed weapon easy to draw and defend myself that is very reliable, easy to operate and fits securely in my hand. Tech specs and opinions please?
TedDeBearFrmHell is right about comparison sites, and as far as the 2 pistols you have listed both are from good manufactures as well as having good reputations. As to what conceals well and is easy to draw, that is a combination of training and practice (lots of it)in conjunction with a good quality well fitting holster with a good gun belt. Yes both are very important, a gun belt is heavier than a normal belt and is needed for a secure foundation for holster, the holster must hold the pistol firmly but not bind or interfere with the draw. What holster is a matter of personal selection, take some many different holsters to find their favorite. As to what fits securely in your hand only you can determine that. You need to get them both in your hand, if possible rent the both and run a few round through them. Then make a choice, or if you don't like them start over and find one that you do like.

Your risk of stroke is 5 times higher if you have atrial fibrillation (AFib). This irregular heartbeat can sometimes be felt as a fluttering or "thumping" in the chest, although some people have no symptoms and it's only detectable by a doctor's exam.
People with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) may have swelling, pain or tenderness, and warmth or redness of the skin on the affected areas. However, about half of the people with DVT don't have any symptoms, which makes prevention important. DVT is serious and can lead to pulmonary embolism (PE).
The symptoms of pulmonary embolism (PE) include unexplained shortness of breath, pain with deep breathing, and coughing up blood. Some people experience these symptoms, unaware that they may have started as a deep vein blood clot.

Fix up an old fireplace firebox for gel-burning
Hello DIY Community,
This is my first post, and I'm hoping I can solicit some advice from the knowledge on here!
My wife and I recently moved into a 100 year old home and completely gutted/renovated the interior. One of the final pieces left to finish is a fireplace on the mail floor. I've installed a new marble surround and hearth, and built a new mantle.
The chimney is sealed off. I would like to install a gel-burning insert, however before I do this, I want to fix up the inside of the fireplace/firebox itself. The previous owner appears to have lined the firebox with cement and some kind of black paint-like coating that has chipped and cracked over time. Underneath this layer of cement, I can see brick masonry showing through the cracks. Any suggestions? Could I line the firebox with steel, or should I re-brick/tile the inside? Re-do the cement with another layer? I'm open to all suggestions. Here's what I've come across so far with no perfect solution. I know someone out there will have a great idea of an inexpensive and appropriate solution!!
Refractory liner is a bit pricey, and may be overkill since the box is already masonry and cement, and the gel inserts won't create much heat.
Fireback won't cover the unsightly mess the previous owner has left.
Fire wrapper might also be a bit over the top for a gel-burning insert.
Thanks so much in advance!:thumbsup:
Ayuh,... Reopen the chimney 1st...
What the 'ell is Gel, 'n a Gel-burner,..??
its the stuff they use at buffet tables
I'd use steel, then paint with stove paint.
Go on line and see if you can find any of the recalls on gel fuel, or on amazon.com look for gel fireplaces and see what people that have bought them think.
Total waist of time and money.
Go all the way and have the gas company install vented gas logs or just go with electric.

Also referred to as peripheral neuropathy or peripheral neuritis, neuropathy occurs when illness, injury, inflammation, medication, or other factors disrupt the ability of nerves outside the spinal cord to relay messages between the brain and muscles, skin, nerves, joints, or internal organs.
Neuropathy can affect:
- Sensory nerves, which control sensation
- Motor nerves, which control movement
- Autonomic nerves, which control involuntary or semi- involuntary body functions
- Any combination of these three main types of nerves
Researchers have identified more than 100 types of neuropathy. Symptoms, which may take days, weeks, or months to develop, depend on the type or types of nerves affected and on whether neuropathy affects a single nerve or group of nerves (mononeuropathy) or more than one nerve group (polyneuropathy).
Damage to sensory nerves can reduce or intensify sensation. This can prevent patients from realizing they've been injured or are experiencing pains warning of heart attack or other life-threatening emergency. Or, it can make even a gentle touch extremely painful. Nerves farthest from the brain and spinal cord are usually the first to malfunction. Pain and other symptoms often appear on both sides of the body, beginning in the feet and progressing toward the center of the body. Neuropathy that affects sensory nerves also causes nerve pain, burning, tingling, and numbness. Inability to determine joint position impairs coordination.
Cramping may indicate motor nerve damage, which reduces or destroys muscle control and can result in weakness and loss of muscle. Other symptoms of muscle involvement include:
- Paralysis
- Twitching
- Breathing or swallowing problems
- Falling
- Absence of fine motor skills needed for such tasks as tying shoes
When autonomic nerves are damaged, diminished ability to sweat or otherwise regulate body temperature can cause heat intolerance. Vision may blur, and falling blood pressure can cause fainting or dizziness. Other symptoms include:
- Diarrhea
- Constipation
- Abdominal bloating
- Feeling full after eating very little
- Nausea or vomiting after meals
- Unintentional weight loss
- Urinary hesitancy or incontinence
- A sense that the bladder doesn't fully empty
- Impotence
