Drive in the Snow

Wed, 12/29/2010 - 20:04

Summary: /* Heading out in the snow */

[[Image:Blizzardwiki.jpg|630px|thumb|left|Photo by [http://twitter.com/brianelmquist/status/19514960488964096 Brian Elmquist] via Twitter]]

When you wake up the morning after a snowstorm to find 2 feet of fresh powder piled up in your driveway, you can guarantee that traveling anywhere outside your home is going to be a chore. Driving is going to be especially dangerous.

The only foolproof way to stay safe when the roads are covered in winter snow is to stay at home. But sometimes, you ''have to'' go out. So if you must, here are some ways to make your trip safer and easier for you and your fellow drivers.

''This article is part of '''a wiki anyone can edit.''' If you have advice to add, log in and contribute.''


==Consider Alternative Transportation==

Before you start digging out your car... consider the costs and benefits of driving today. Driving is usually more convenient than taking a bus... but not when you have to spend an hour digging out your car beforehand. You may find that taking a bus today is warmer, safer, more convient, maybe even faster than driving.

==Prep your ride==

Part of this must be done ahead of time. The rest of your preparation can be done once you know a storm is coming or even as you're digging out for the daily commute.

===Before the storm===

Most important, if you live in a snowy climate, get your snow tires installed a month or so before you'll need them.

Also, get a set of tire chains and store them in the trunk. They provide an incredible amount of traction in extreme conditions. Chains are required on some mountain passes. Be aware that chains are illegal in certain states because of the damage they can do to the road surface, be sure to check your local laws.

Pack in your car: a blanket (or sleeping bag), flares, a shovel, a small bag of sand or kitty litter, matches and a candle in an old coffee can. The first will keep you warm in case you break down and have to stay in your car for hours. The second will help you mark your car for other motorists to see in a storm, The third can help dig you out. The fourth can provide traction if you're stuck and your wheels are spinning (kitty litter has larger particles and users report that it works better than sand). As for the rest, you can put some sand in the bottom of the coffee can, insert the candle, and light it to make a small lamp and heat source.

Packing food and water in your car is also a great idea if you're traveling longer distances in the wintertime.

Water is not going to do you any good if it is frozen solid. The ice may burst the container, and you will have a terrible mess when it thaws. Keep it in the passenger compartment with you, and bring it into your hotel room in the evening.

''Some other thoughts:

1. Flares are great for accidents, but they burn out in a few minutes. To mark the position of your vehicle consider a battery powered strobe that will last for a few hours. Tape or tie it to the antenna.

2. If you remove the cardboard inner tube from a roll of toilet tissue and stuff it in the coffee can, you have a stove that will keep you alive in your car in severe cold. Carry 2-3 12 oz. bottles of isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol). Pour a couple of oz. on the toilet tissue and light it. Carry a couple of disposable aluminum pie plates. Turn one upside down & use it to set the stove on as a heat shield. Control the heat with the other one by covering part of the can opening (or use the coffee can lid), or use it to melt snow for drinking. Isopropyl alcohol does not make carbon monoxide but crack open a window to keep some fresh air coming in. Intermittent use of this stove will keep you from freezing for many hours.

3. Always keep a towing rope or bar in your car: someone else might get you unstuck, or you might help the unluckily!

If you are going to do this, read your owners manual carefully to determine proper attachment points for tow ropes, otherwise you might just pull the plastic bumper right off of your car, or cause other damage.

===Heading out in the snow===

* Remove all snow from every surface of your car. Scrape the ice and packed snow off your windows, side mirrors, headlights and taillights. Don't drive with fogged windows. Let your car warm at least enough to clear fogged windows. Check the action of each door release from the outside and ensure each door closes and latches before you head out. Frozen door latch hardware might leave your door swinging open at the worst possible time.

Cleaning the snow from your car will invariably result in you getting snow all over your jacket and your pants. It will probably spill into the edges of your boots, as well. Remove the snow from you and your clothes before you get in the car, otherwise it will melt and soak your clothes and your car seat, and you will have an unpleasant drive.

* Wait for the car to warm up, and remove your heavy coat and hat and boots before you drive. Bring sneakers with you and change into them. Don't drive with heavy clothes on, it hinders your performance more than you think, and you need to be sharp when driving in bad weather.

* Top off your windshield-wiper fluid. Use de-icing fluid if you can get it.
''From nuke: if it's cold enough that this article is of interest then you DEFINITELY should have cold weather anti-freeze type washer fluid! Here in Canada it's standard at all gas bars in winter and protects down to about -40 deg. C.''


* Fill your gas tank. The extra weight can provide extra traction on slippery roads. It also could come in handy if you end up stuck and have to keep the car running to stay warm.


* Make sure your tires are filled to their recommended PSI. Low tire pressure can slow your vehicle's reaction to steering.


* If you live in an area where studded snow tires are rarely needed, you can prepare for a snow storm by mounting conventional tires with chains in advance of the storm. Find two steel rims at a salvage yard that match the wheels on your car. Buy two used tires to match. Chain up the tires before the tires are inflated. Get a good snug fit and have a tire shop remove excess chain links. Then inflate the tires to the recommended pressure. Mount the chained-up tires on your car when it's clear that you will be affected by the snow storm. Drive carefully and slowly on the chained up tires to minimize the possibility of broken cross-links.

*Most modern chains can be mounted even if the car is already stuck, you don't need to drive on them or to remove the wheel. Practize mounting them in a warm and dry environment!

*For those that drive a manual gearbox, that is everybody outside the US of A (A = Automatic): park your car in first gear or reverse, not on handbrake. Brake tend to freeze up, and especially on brined roads they tend to rust stuck. If your brake is stuck do to rust or frost, gently tap it with a hammer.

*If your brakes are stuck, tapping them usually does not help. Find the parking brake cable housing and give it a good yank, it's FAR more effective at smashing up the ice inside your brake housings.

==Take it easy==

WEAR YOUR SAFETY BELT, AND DO IT CORRECTLY!

When driving on snowy roads, it's important to move slowly and be very aware of your surroundings. Driving too fast is a major factor in winter car accidents. Accelerate and brake gently and evenly. Look ahead to turns, intersections or obstacles before you encounter them. Avoid any quick or sudden movements, which can cause your car to lose traction and slide or fishtail.

Drive half the posted speed limit, and double the fair-weather distance between you and the car in front of you. An easy calculation is four car lengths per 10 mph you're driving. That's 12 car lengths at 30 mph. Maintain that distance when you decelerate or approach a full stop.

Keep your lights on at all times. Many vehicle manufactures have equipped day-time running lights (DRL) standard as they improve driver visibility in oncoming traffic during the day. Use high beam lights only for extended vision while night driving, and dim them on approach of another vehicle. High beams make poor DRLs.

Downshift to decelerate instead of using your brakes, especially on downhills. Use a low gear when climbing hills. Be careful when you downshift. Too much speed, and shifting into too low a gear and the transmission will force the wheels to skid some while the wheel-speed reduces to match the gear ratio; too fast, and you'll have an outright skid situation. Release the clutch slowly to help avoid this.

Also, take extra care when crossing bridges or when driving on lightly-traveled roads. These areas are more apt to be icy. If you encounter a snowplow or a truck dumping salt and sand on the road, don't pass it. (Think about it). Stay well back from the equipment, and remember; if the truck discharges sand from the side and you pass closely in either direction, you're going to get sanded too.

Drive in as high a gear as possible, shift smoothly and with low revs, put your automatic gearbox in the wintersetting if possible. You might even try to drive off in second gear.

When driving with chains on a frontwheel drive, be careful with deceleration (lifting the gaspedal in low gear or braking): the car will tend to break out from the back, because your braking force on the front is far greater than the braking force on the backwheels.
A modern car with ABS, and drive stability systems will work like a charm. The anti-spin control may be switched of in some conditions, because it will detect spin and refuse to give power to the drive wheels.


==Emergency measures==

If you start to slide, take your foot off the accelerator, but don't hit the brakes. (If you're driving a manual transmission vehicle, take your foot off the gas, don't hit the brakes, but fully depress the clutch pedal.)

Steer in the direction you want to go, which is often in the direction of the skid. (If the tail end of your car is skidding right, steer right.)

Your car should start to self-correct. Accelerate gently to get your wheels moving again and increase traction. If you need to stop, brake gently. Be careful, as braking hard will stop your wheels and eliminate any traction you may have.

If you have antilock brakes, press your brake pedal gently. You may feel them pulse — this is normal. If you have traditional brakes, pump the brakes gently.


==When you're stuck==

If you end up stuck in a snowbank or on the side of the road, press your accelerator gently to see if you can get free. This isn't a time to hit the gas: Your wheels will likely spin and get you nowhere.

Failing that, you can try rocking your way out. If your car moved a little, gently drive forward up to that point, then release the accelerator and step on the clutch (if driving manual), letting the car slide back. Repeat. The idea is to nudge the car back and forth with gentle use of the accelerator, like pushing on a swing. If you're not too badly stuck, eventually it'll make enough room to build enough speed to break out of the snowbank. Try not to spin the wheels; that'll polish the packed snow under the wheels into ice. You can also steer while rocking, to turn the car to an angle against the snowbank.

If you're stuck for sure, put your car in Park, set the handbrake,and get out and dig the snow away from your wheels and even under the car if you think it's keeping you from moving forward or backward. (Remember that shovel?) ONLY THE SHOVEL goes under the car; not your hand(s), your arm; or any part of you! Then place some of that sand you packed under each wheel, especially the drive wheels — front and/or rear depending on your car.

If all else fails, try to flag down another motorist or call a loved one to help you arrange for a tow truck. If they offer to help by pushing your car remember this. At the rear a spun tire throws stuff back. At the front, turning your wheels while spinning your tires throws stuff in that direction. This is not a nice way to to thank a helper. Is this too late to suggest you sign up for an automobile club membership (or just add towing coverage to you car insurance)?

If you are staying close to your disabled vehicle, stay behind it, not in front of it. Other motorists will see you better. If someone plows into the back end of your car, the last place you want to be is in front of it.

Summary: The beatles have finally come to iTunes. Now Noteburner M4P to MP3 Converter can help you easily remove iTunes DRM protection from downloaded the beatles musics.

'''The Beatles Have Finally Come to iTunes'''
For a long time, '''The Beatles' music''' was conspicuously absent from the iTunes Store. Apple has clashed time and again with Apple Corps over the years, long before the advent of iTunes. Each time Apple announced new products, rumors swirled that all parties had worked out their differences and The Beatles would come to iTunes. On Nov. 16, 2010, Apple announced that The Beatles would be coming to the iTunes Store after all .

[Image:http://www.noteburner.com/image/article/beatles-itunes-1.jpg]


The Beatles were the greatest and most influential act of the rock era, and introduced more innovations into popular music than any other rock band of the 20th century. Moreover, they were among the few artists of any discipline that were simultaneously the best at what they did and the most popular at what they did. Relentlessly imaginative and experimental, the Beatles grabbed a hold of the international mass consciousness in 1964 and never let go for the next six years, always staying ahead of the pack in terms of creativity but never losing their ability to communicate their increasingly sophisticated ideas to a mass audience. Their supremacy as rock icons remains unchallenged to this day, decades after their breakup in 1970.

Winterize Your Bicycle

Mon, 12/27/2010 - 19:29

Summary: /* Prep your wheels */

[[Image:Winterbike.jpg|630px|thumb|left|Photo by Wolfhowl/[http://www.flickr.com/photos/ashenwolf/3241934120/ Flickr]/CC]]

Two feet of snow, 20-degree temperatures and patches of black ice will keep most cyclists away from the saddle. But a few brave souls insist on combating old man winter's drudgery by hitting the streets, no matter how poor the conditions.

Besides, sometimes the bike is your best bet in winter -- especially when cars are getting stuck, the buses aren't running, and the sidewalks are a slippery mess.

In order to get through the cold winter, we talked with [http://www.todddowns.com/todddowns/ Todd Downs], professional bike mechanic and author of ''The Bicycling Guide to Complete Bicycle Maintenance & Repair for Road & Mountain Bikes.''

Here's his advice, plus tips from our readers.

''This article is part of '''a wiki anyone can edit.''' If you have advice to add about riding in the winter, please log in and contribute.''


===Prep your wheels===

[[Image:Snowtires.jpg|thumb|220px|right|Studded snow tires are a good investment, especially in icy areas. Photo by Bruce McAdam/[http://www.flickr.com/photos/bruce_mcadam/3045934121/ Flickr]/CC]]
"Having your front wheel slide out from under you in a turn or when you're trying to stop for a busy intersection is terrifying," Downs says.

Mountain bike tires, cyclocross tires or street tires with some thick treads are a must. Don't hit the snowy roads in your sew-up street slicks.

If you live in a place where the roads freeze often or can freeze suddenly, Downs recommends you give some serious thought to investing in studded winter tires. Keep in mind, however, when you use studded tires, you can stop easily, but cars may not be able to.

If you're using spiked tires, hydraulic disc brakes are a good investment. If you have caliper brakes or "V-brakes" make sure your wheel bearings and rims are properly aligned and not too worn, otherwise your brakes will become less effective. This is especially important on snow and ice.

If you're not doing any long distances, you can try the zip-tie method shown in [http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2010/12/zip-ties-snow-tires/ this Gadget Lab post]. Just run zip ties around the tire and rim in even intervals, with the knobby bits facing downwards, and in alternating directions. Obviously, this won't work unless you have disc brakes, drum brakes, or a brakeless fixed-gear bike.
<br clear="all" />

===Keep it clean===

Your biggest worry in the winter is corrosion, says Downs.

"Riding in places where the roads freeze means the DOT will be using salt, and salt is no friend to any bicycle, no matter what the frame is made of or how well-sealed the bearings are," he says.

Wipe the bike down when you get where you're going, and wash it as often as possible -- just don't leave it in the freezing garage to dry.

Once a week, degrease your chain, scrub it clean and re-grease it. If you know what you're doing, thoroughly clean and repack the bearings in the hubs and the bracket at least once during the snowy season.

At the very least, keep all the moving parts clean and well-lubed. Bike lubricant doesn't just keep the parts from sticking, it also cleans and protects the parts from corrosion. If you ride with a backpack, carry a can of WD-40. If parts start seizing up, apply a liberal dose of the stuff.

Use a light wax lubricant or lithium grease on the cables. It prevents them sticking. Also, lubricate the moving brake parts with a light waxy lubricant to repel water, snow and dirt, but be careful not to get any lube on the pads.

Some go as far as discarding the chain (and chainring and rear cog) at the end of the winter. This makes more sense with a single rear cog (either single speed or internally geared). Some cyclists just move the parts from a good "summer" bike frame to a more rugged "winter" bike frame every fall, then discard most of the parts the next spring.

If you've got a suspension fork with magnesium sliders and you live in an area where they salt the roads, you either need to keep the fork spotless or consider buying a stiff aluminium fork for use in the winter. After a couple of winters worth of salt exposure, the magnesium bits will start looking like a sponge.

===Fenders are your friends===

Downs recommends investing in a set of full fenders. "An absolute must for those slushy, sloppy days. Full fenders will not only keep the salty, oily spray off you, but they'll minimize how much gets thrown on sensitive parts of your bike like brakes, bottom bracket (the crank bearing, and headset (steering bearing) too."

Full fenders save your clothing too, given most wet weather clothing is only water resistant. Just make sure there's an ample gap between the fenders and the tires to allow for snow and muck.

===Stay lit at all times===

A reasonably bright, white headlight and red taillight are also a must for anyone who rides in the winter, and not just before sun-up or after dusk.

"Remember, lights aren't there just so you can see -- they're so you can ''be seen''," Downs says.


===Gear up===

One of the biggest mistakes winter cyclists make when trying to stay warm is to throw on a heavy coat. It keeps the chill out, but it also keeps the heat in, making you sweat. When you stop pedaling, that sweat freezes.

Dress in thin layers, including a moisture-wicking base layer to get the sweat off your skin. Also, gloves, face masks and a thin head covering for under your helmet. Wool outer layers are surprisingly effective. If you wear a hard shell, make sure it's breathable.

Using some cheap goggles instead of glasses is going to cover up the bridge of your nose and help prevent brain freeze. If you're riding around on busy urban roads, consider a Respro pollution mask. It will keep your nose and mouth from freezing, and it also helps block traffic pollution from cars with cold catalytic converters.


===Choose the right path===

When riding your bike, your first choice might to ride the same route that you normally ride. But in the winter that might not be the right choice. It pays to find out what roads and bicycle paths get cleared first (or just plain cleared) after a snowfall, so try out different routes when you ride to and from work or other places you ride to regularly.

Trucks and heavy traffic can make a bike ride dangerous in itself, but when they compress or make tracks in the snow, riding a bike can be even more of a daunting experience. Try a different route, if possible. A bike path is normally always the best choice when one is nearby.

And look out for ice, especially black ice: A little snow can actually help you steer your bike, so go for the snow if there is ice on the road.


===Know your machine===

"The most important tool for every commuter is the same as the most important tool for every cyclist -- your wits," says Downs. "Take the time to get to know your bike. Clean it, inspect it, maintain it. Just by giving your bike a quick once-over every day and a thorough inspection once every week or two will keep you from running into big problems on the road."

What Should You Watch on Christmas Day?

Mon, 12/27/2010 - 06:52

Summary:

[[Image:love actually.jpg]]
The Christmas Day just fell on the Day of 25th, December. I know, on this day, you were very busy and excited at the same time, you might even not have the time to watch a classic movie, or you just do not know which Christmas movie to watch, though, I still want to know if you guys watch ed a Christmas movie on this day? If not, here are some classic Christmas movie that I would like share with you:

'''''1. Love Actually'''''

This is definitely a case of a writer-turned-director that is too in love with his own script to make hard choices about what to keep and what to cut and actually it is cheerful and undeniably romantic and, despite its flaws, you'd be hard-pressed to sit through the credits without smiling. In the end the film is just as winsome and sugary as its facile message: "'''love, actually, is all around'''." Very recommend!

'''''2. A Christmas Carol'''''

Based on Dickens' classic moral fable. This is one of my personal favorite Christmas films. The early black-and-white British version where Alastair Sim's Scrooge is visited by the Christmas Eve ghosts is generally considered among the best. And for the lattest version, George C. Scott, the movie was lushly produced for TV, faithful to the book, utterly sumptuous, and sometimes chilling in its depictions of the ghosts. Scott is masterful in the role, with a sympathetic David Warner as Bob Cratchit and Susannah York as his fetching missus. It's an evocation of the glories and the miseries of Victorian England that spurred Dickens to write the tale.

'''''3. The Santa Clause'''''

Since The Santa Clause 1 was released on November 11, 1994, the box-office grossed over USD $144 million in the United States alone and over $189 million worldwide. This American fantasy-dramedy film was directed by John Pasquin, and Tim Allen plays Scott Calvin. After this successful holiday film, there spawned 3 related films. The Santa Clause 2 in 2002, The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause in 2006 and The Santa Clause 4 seems on the way. So this series are really worth watching on the holiday.

The above are the most classic Christmas movies I ever saw, them are really worth of watching, if you purchased them on iTunes and wanna to keep them, just like me, you can [http://www.noteburner.com/noteburner-m4v-converter.html '''remove the DRM'''] protection with a converter. Noteburner is such a powerful DRM removal software and converter which can '''convert m4v DRM Christmas movies''' to [http://www.noteburner.com/m4v-to-mp4.html '''plain mp4'''], [http://www.noteburner.com/m4v-to-avi.html '''AVI'''], MOV, FLV and MPG.

The second way is to use HDMI output from Blu-ray player to TV for video and optical digital cable output from Blu-ray player to Home Theater input for surround sound.

Here the first way is highly recommended. Because if you have more than one video source (e.g. Blu-ray and HD cable or satellite), you have to select video source at the TV and audio at the Home Theatre.

'''Part I: Stream Blu-ray movies to Droid X.'''
As we know, any mobile phone cannot support all video formats. So does Droid X. Droid X only supports formats like MPEG-4, MP4, H.264, WMV, DIVX or XVID. Generally H.264 (*.mp4) is the best format for Droid X. Then the best way is to rip and convert Blu-ray movies to H.264 (*.mp4) for Droid X.

Before you set the word afire with your awesome emails, you have to start by building a permission-based email list. Here's how you do that:


== Why Build a Permission-Based Email List? ==

Building a permission-based email list is something that should be considered by anyone who is serious about online marketing. Once you build it, you will have the opportunity to reach and engage your target audience through one of the most effective marketing platforms in modern history.

Marketers that sell products or services online can easily build an email list by collecting new subscribers during the checkout process.

If you run a brick and mortar establishment, keep a stack of sign-up forms at the cash register and inform on-duty clerks to encourage customers to give their [http://howto.wired.com/wiki/Make_Your_Webmail_More_Secure email address] and permission when making a purchase.


== Leverage the Social Networks ==

Although social networking is often viewed as a recreational activity, several brands have proved that it can be highly effective as a marketing tool. At the very least, it can be used to build a permission-based email list and help create awareness for your brand. Whether it is [http://www.Facebook.com Facebook], LinkedIn, a [http://howto.wired.com/wiki/Start_a_Blog blog] or Twitter, the goal here is to create a profile for your business, and develop a presence that gives your audience a reason to connect with you through the email channel.


== Network at Industry Events ==

Some marketers keep their list building tactics online. There is nothing wrong with this, but doing so limits your potential to reach a greater audience. You can expand your reach by making efforts to collect new subscribers at meet ups, trade shows, sales conferences and other events where your target market is present.


== Incorporate a Listbuilder on Your Website ==

Using a listbuilder is a method that allows you to put your list building initiative on cruise control.

Another effective way to build a permission-based email list is by holding a contest on your website, blog, or social networking page. Come up with a cool prize, build hype around the contest, and let it be known that subscribing to your list is required in order to participate. If the prize is valuable enough and you do a good job in the promoting department, this technique can turn out to be very successful.


== Dangle Content Bait ==

The content you publish is perhaps the most tempting bait that can be used to build your list. This is especially true when using it to purposely tease your visitors. For example, you could publish two or three paragraphs of a juicy article addressing a specific problem on your website, and inform visitors that they must sign up to your email list to read the full content. This is a simple technique marketers have been using effectively for years.

Once dedicating yourself to the process, you will learn that building a permission-based email list is the easy part of online marketing. While having a successful run as a marketer can be difficult, the importance of this part cannot be underestimated because it allows you to get off to a good start and lay the foundation needed to stay on course.
