Maintain Your Car To Make It Run Better

Wired - Sat, 01/29/2011 - 15:52

Summary: New page: It’s always nice to have a smooth running and reliable car. However, cars age and will need maintenance over time to keep on running like the day it rolled from the showroom floor. Just ...

It’s always nice to have a smooth running and reliable car. However, cars age and will need maintenance over time to keep on running like the day it rolled from the showroom floor. Just putting gas and kicking the tires will not do it. Maintaining a smooth-running car takes care from the owner, and the mechanic or dealer, if you are not mechanically inclined.

All cars have a maintenance schedule set by the manufacturer when they designed the car. Some cars have simple maintenance schedules while other cars need more specialized equipment and parts to keep them in tiptop shape. In general, Japanese cars are cheaper to operate and maintain. However, luxury European brands have a cachet and status all their own. There will be times when budget or work will prevent you from performing needed maintenance. Just follow the maintenance schedule as close as you can because neglecting maintenance may result in a breakdown sometime and emergency repairs are always more expensive than scheduled maintenance. Whatever your choice of car, be aware that there are operating and maintenance costs that are part of owning a vehicle.

With today’s modern engines, very little can be done by the owner, except to maybe change the oil and check/replace the air and fuel filters. Consult the owner’s manual on when to change the oil. Depending on whether synthetic oil is used or not, the maintenance period will vary. Whatever the figure is, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations. And don’t scrimp on the oil. Oil is the lifeblood of your engine and the top oil companies do have engine oils that offer better performance and protection.

Do check you air filter regularly. This item is easy to forget because it is under a cover and a clogged filter doesn’t act up immediately but rather degrades performance over time. When it is time to replace your air filter, consider buying an aftermarket reusable filter. These have the benefit of better performance and much longer life because they can be cleaned.

Also check your car’s other fluids regularly, like the power steering fluid, engine oil level, coolant level and even the washer fluids. A faster than average rate of depletion can be an indicator of a developing problem which can be taken care of before it worsens.

Generally, you can worry less about your suspension until clunks or rattling indicate worn parts. A car that pulls to one side is also an indicator of upcoming suspension work that will need to be done. However, you do need to check your tire pressure and tire wear regularly. Uneven tire wear is a good indicator of the state of your suspension and its alignment. Again, consult your owner’s manual on when to rotate your tires so that you prolong their life.

The other side of the equation in owning a car is the owner’s driving habits. Good or bad habits can lengthen or shorten the service life of your car considerably.

One of the good habits you can form, if you don’t have it yet, is to keep a steady foot on the gas pedal. Don’t treat it like an on/off switch. Accelerate slowly but steadily from stops. Anticipate upcoming intersections or traffic buildups by easing off the accelerator. A side benefit of learning how to feather the throttle is improved gas mileage. Same goes for braking. Don’t jam on the brakes. Instead, apply steady pressure to come to a stop. Of course, in an emergency situation, you would have to apply a lot of braking pressure but also remember to try to steer away from danger at the same time. Remember that if your brakes lock up, you will also lose steering control.

As we use our cars, we start to accumulate junk. In the trunk, the back seats, etc. Every so often, remove that accumulated debris that you don’t really need from your car. The more unnecessary weight you carry, the more fuel you will use. Speaking of fuel use, an engine that is well-maintained always uses less fuel than a sloppily maintained one. With fuel prices more often on the way up, that alone is enough motivation to keep your car well maintained.

Schedule your [http://jamestoyota.net/maintenance/bookanappointment Service Appointment] and JamesToyota staff will gladly assist you with car maintenance. Also don’t forget to check out our [http://jamestoyota.net/toyotaaccessories/index Parts and Accessories] inventory – it contains many items that will help you maintaining a smooth-running car.


Communicate if Your Government Shuts Off Your Internet

Wired - Fri, 01/28/2011 - 20:52

Summary: /* Additional Resources */

[[Image:Nointernet.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Photo by albir/[http://www.flickr.com/photos/lliurealbir/4852185263/ Flickr]/CC]]
''Scenario:'' Your government is displeased with the communication going on in your location and pulls the plug on your internet access, most likely by telling the major ISPs to turn off service.

This is what happened in Egypt Jan. 25 prompted by citizen protests, with sources estimating that the Egyptian government cut off approximately 88 percent of the country's internet access. What do you do without internet? Step 1: Stop crying in the corner. Then start taking steps to reconnect with your network. Here’s a list of things you can do to keep the communication flowing.

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

==Preventive measures==

===Make your network tangible===

Print out your contact list, so your phone numbers aren’t stuck in the cloud. Some mail services like Gmail allow you to export your online contact list in formats that are more conducive to paper, such as CSV or Vcard, and offer [http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=24911 step-by-step guides] on how to do this.

===Broadcast on the radio===

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens%27_band_radio ''CB Radio:''] Short for "Citizens Band" radio, these two-way radios allow communication over short distances on 40 channels. You can pick one up for about $20 to $50 at Radio Shack, and no license is required to operate it.

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amateur_radio ''Ham radio'':] To converse over these radios, also known as "amateur radios," you have to obtain an operator's license from the FCC. Luckily, other Wired How-To contributors have already explained exactly [http://howto.wired.com/wiki/Become_a_Ham_Radio_Operator what you need to do] to get one and use it like a pro. However, if the President declares a State of Emergency, use of the radio could be extremely restricted or prohibited.

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GMRS '' GMRS'':] The General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) is a licensed land-mobile FM UHF radio service in the United States available for short-distance two-way communication. It is intended for use by an adult individual who possesses a valid GMRS license, as well as his or her immediate family members... They are more expensive than the walkie talkies typically found in discount electronics stores, but are higher quality.

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Radio_Service ''Family Radio Service'':] The Family Radio Service (FRS) is an improved walkie talkie radio system authorized in the United States since 1996. This personal radio service uses channelized frequencies in the ultra high frequency (UHF) band. It does not suffer the interference effects found on citizens' band (CB) at 27 MHz, or the 49 MHz band also used by cordless phones, toys, and baby monitors.

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbroadcasting ''Microbroadcasting'':] Microbroadcasting is the process of broadcasting a message to a relatively small audience. This is not to be confused with low-power broadcasting.
In radio terms, it is the use of low-power transmitters to broadcast a radio signal over the space of a neighborhood or small town. Similarly to pirate radio, microbroadcasters generally operate without a license from the local regulation body, but sacrifice range in favor of using legal power limits.

===Phone===

''Set up a phone tree:'' According to the [http://www.aauw.org/act/issue_advocacy/phonetree.cfm American Association of University Women], a phone tree is "a prearranged, pyramid-shaped system for activating a group of people by telephone" that can "spread a brief message quickly and efficiently to a large number of people." Dig out that contact list you printed out and follow the steps on the [http://www.aauw.org/act/issue_advocacy/phonetree.cfm AAUW website] to spread the message down your pyramid of contacts.

''Enable Twitter via SMS:'' Though the thought of unleashing the Twitter fire hose in your text message inbox may seem horrifying, it would be better than not being able to connect to the outside world at all. The Twitter website has full instructions on [http://support.twitter.com/entries/14014-twitter-phone-faqs how to redirect tweets to your phone].

''Call to Tweet:'' A small team of engineers from Twitter, Google and SayNow, a company Google acquired recently, made this idea a reality. It’s already live and anyone can tweet by simply leaving a voicemail on one of these international phone numbers (+16504194196 or +390662207294 or +97316199855) and the service will instantly tweet the message using the hashtag #egypt. No Internet connection is required. People can listen to the messages by dialing the same phone numbers or going to the Twitter account, [http://twitter.com/speak2tweet speak2tweet].

Alex Jones and infowars.com have a telephone number for people to listen to his radio show by phone, in case the internet goes down, or if you don't have internet. The phone in listen line is 512-646-5000.

===Fax===

If you need to quickly send and receive documents with lengthy or complex instructions, phone conversations may result in misunderstandings, and delivering the doc by foot would take forever. Brush the dust off that bulky old machine, establish a connection by phone first with the recipient to make sure his machine is hooked up, then fax away.

You may not need a fax machine to send or receive faxes if your computer has a dial-up fax application.

===Non-Virtual Bulletin Board===
Sometimes we get so wrapped up in the virtual world that we forget about resources available in the real world. Physical bulletin boards have been used for centuries to disseminate information and don't require electricity to function. If you are fortunate enough to be getting information from some other source why not share it with your friends and neighbors with your own bulletin board? Cork, magnetic and marker bulletin boards are as close as your nearest dime store and can be mounted just about anywhere. And if push comes to shove you can easily make your own with scrap wood lying around the house.

==Getting back online==

While it might be relatively easy for a government to cut connections by leveraging the major ISPs, there are some places they wouldn't get to so readily, like privately-owned networks and independent ISPs.

===Find the privately-run ISPs===

In densely populated areas, especially in central business districts and city suburbs there are multiple home WiFi networks overlapping each other, some secure, some not. If there is no internet, open up your WiFi by removing password protection: If enough people do this it's feasible to create a totally private WiFi service outside government control covering the CBD, and you can use applications that run Bonjour (iChat on Mac for example) to communicate with others on the open network and send and receive documents. **needs more clarification

If you are a private ISP, it's your time to shine. Consider allowing open access to your Wi-Fi routers to facilitate communication of people around you until the grid is back online.

===Return to dial-up===

According to an article in the BBC about [http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-12322948 old tech's role in the Egyptian protests], "Dial-up modems are one of the most popular routes for Egyptians to get back online. Long lists of international numbers that connect to dial-up modems are circulating in Egypt thanks to net activists We Re-Build, Telecomix and others."

Dial-up can be slow. Often, there is a lightweight mobile version of a site that you can load from your desktop browser quickly despite the limitations of dial-up. Examples: [http://mobile.twitter.com mobile.twitter.com], [http://m.facebook.com/ m.facebook.com], [http://m.gmail.com m.gmail.com].

===Ad-Hoc Networking===

Most wireless routers, PCs, laptops, and even some ultramobile devices like cellphones have the ability to become part of an "ad hoc" network, where different "nodes" (all of the devices on the network) share the responsibility of transmitting data with one another. These networks can become quite large, and are often very easy to set up. If used properly by a tech-savvy person, such networks can be used to host temporary websites and chat rooms. There are many internet tutorials on the internet for ad hoc networking, so feel free to google some.

Apple computers tend to have very accessible ad hoc functionality built in, including a pre-installed chat client (iChat) that will automatically set up an ad hoc "Rendezvous" chatroom among anybody on the network, without the need for an external service like AIM or Skype. Ad hoc network-hosting functionality is built in to the Wi-Fi menu.

Windows computers have several third-party ad hoc chat applications available (such as Trillian) and setting up an ad hoc Wi-Fi network is almost as simple as on a Mac.

Linux operating systems, of course, have plenty of third-party apps available, and most distros have ad hoc network-creation support built in.

=== Build Large Bridged Wireless Network ===
Using popular wireless access point devices like a Linksys WRT54G, you can create a huge wireless bridged network -- effectively creating a Local Area Network (LAN), or a private Internet that can be utilized by all users within range using a Wi-Fi enabled device.

You can also link multiple devices together wirelessly, extending the range of your network. Most access points will cover a 100 meter area and if your wireless device is built to support the 802.11n wireless standard, you will get almost a 500 meter coverage area for each access point.

To build a wireless bridge, check out [http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Wireless_Bridge the dd-wrt wiki], and learn how to configure Linksys WRT54G as a wireless client using this [http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=1115 Anandtech thread].

===Nintendo DS===
A used DS family device can be purchased inexpensively. In addition to wi-fi, the DS supports its own wireless protocols. Using Pictochat, it is possible to chat with nearby DS users without having any DS games. Unfortunately, the range is quite short.

Some games, such as the fourth generation Pokemon games, support mail items. Thus you can send your message under the guise of just playing a game. Mail items can be sent through the Internet if you can get on the net and you and your partner(s) have each other's friend codes.

The original DS and the DS Lite do support the Opera web browser, but finding the game card and memory pack may be very difficult. Starting with the DSi, Opera is downloadable.

==Get satellite access==

You ''can'' have very, very slow internet if you have something similiar to an Iridium phone, which would allow you to do dial up at 2400 baud, which at least gives you e-mail. This will also work when your government has shut down GSM and telephone access, and will work pretty much anywhere on the planet. If you're in the right place, get yourself KA-SAT access (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KA-SAT) which is satellite broadband and will not be routed through any internet exchange that certain local governments may monitor or block (unless that government is part of EU or er ... Uncle Sam.

==Packet Radio==

Back to the '90s: There do exist shortwave packet-radio modems. These are also excruciatingly slow, but may get your e-mail out. Like ham radio above it requires a ham radio license because they operate on ham radio frequencies.

==Back to Basics==

Have an air horn or other loud instrument handy. It may just come down to being able to alert people in your local geographic area, who would otherwise be unaware of an emergency. You may also want to learn a bit about Morse code and have a cheat sheet available.

==Additional Resources==

The online activist group known as Anonymous has posted a crowd-sourced document titled [http://pastebin.com/9jJUku77 "20 Ways to Circumvent the Egyptians Governments' Internet Block"] that includes specific connectivity details like ham radio frequencies and ip addresses for social networking sites.

BEING UNTRACEABLE !!!!!
I'm amazed by all these geeks that post govt secrets that dont realize that they need to set up an untraceable account.
Really, you only need a mail drop, an assumed name, a prepaid credit card you get at many stores to set up service...... or if you really are adventurous, you tap intosomeone elses service......

in the good old days it was called using a back line.... the guy running the betting parlor would have a telephone cord two blocks long running through the underground... when the police busted down the front door of the residence where the phone was located, he was 2 blocks away and could easily dissappear :)

INTRANET
Your computer has the ability to set up your own INTRANET
we did it BEFORE the internet was invented. ((Yes I'm ancient :) ))
It was done two ways.
Your computer dialed up other computers and sent them the contents of a message board....
or local people people dialed into your computer.....
A nationwide system can be set up this way with a central location sending to many cities then each city sending out the info locally.....
