  1. Old people will probbaly be the death of me in a motorcycle accident if I ever am involved in one. I agree with you they get in my safety zone more than anyone else. I swear there ought to be a reaction test at the DMV that you have to pass along with a vision and general knowledge test. every time you get it renewed.
  2. Can't borrow works $1000 gas monitor to bring out to the dz, but if you smell otter exaust(mmm) on the way up is that enough to warrant a check to see if we are getting some in somehow? Or is it like natural gas and mercaptin(sp) You smell it at a low PPM level, but it takes a much higher level above that in which you smell to be harmful? Just a thought. While typing this I got the strange feeling that the CO detector comments was aimed at cessna's instead of otters. B/C otters engines are on the wings instead of a cessnas engine separated from the structure only by a firewall.
  3. ditto.... If I had 1 size larger I could put chin in plastic shell, which seems safer, but with the largest size I have to put chin in the fabric or else I cannot talk to anyone with it on.
  4. I am in my 3rd refresher since I got my EMT years ago(10 years in field) we just had this discusssion. the thinking was that air is what keeps you alive, stopping c-spine integrity might parailize you, but you will still be alive. Now the thinking is "what if compression of the nerve that controlls all breathing and heart regulation that exits your spine at C3-C4 is causing the breathing problem". Do you risk further compressing/shearing that nerve that goes straight to the diaphram that might paralize that muscle and kill you only to remove a helmet? I say if the rate, and quality(tidal volume) is enough, leave it. If you are a non-medical responder, and are wondering how to judge adequate breathing, breath like the patient. Take in the amount of air at the same time and rate that they do, if you feel that you are being deprived the patient probbaly is also. Air we breathe is approx. 21% oxygen, and on each breath we only use about 20% of that 21% available, so if you can get 100% oxygen to the patient via a non-rebreather(if you can take the sheild off) or even by placing it near their mouth and nose(blow by method) that right there increased the amount of air that they can get in each shallow,labored, or irregular breath. I think that if there is NO breathing would be one of the only reasons to take it off until advanced life support arrives to intubate, and apply other life saving interventions. If the patient is not breathing take off the helmet slowley, and with as much care as possible and use the modified jaw thrust manuver to open the airway as it is the only reccommended method to use on a neck injury.
  5. [joke]What is it a punishment thing, ie if you pull low, they say ok no parachute ride/swoop for you. Then they come and snag you and take you straight to the DZO for a scolding?[/joke]
  6. I live in Baton Rouge, and I also ride a Harley. As far as the law goes it SHOULD have been put to a vote BY the PEOPLE. I always wear mine, but the stupid Democrat Bitch running this state BLANCO has her own personal agenda, and is doing nothing but what she wants to do. The reason she fought for this law is that her nextdoor neighbor lost her son due to a motorcycle accident where he was not wearing a helmet. She also reversed the law that was fought for by the previous Republican Govenor Mike Foster. I think it is already enough risk that we have to ride around a bunch of dumb ass drivers, that a helmet may help or hurt a crash. The other day I was riding and a woman crossed the line into my lane on a 4 way hwy. I watched her the whole time and knew she was gonna do it. After she swerved back in her lane, and realised I was there I sped up to give her the usual mean look, and noticed the reason she swerved was that she was driving with her knees while eating a BOWL OF CEREAL! I swear if i had a TOW or a JAVALIN missle with me she would have been a blown up. One you rid elong enough, you get some sort of esp , and can tell which driver is about to do something stupid right before they do it. You get a funny feeling when someone swerves in your lane and never notices you after you reccognized them as a hazard correctly ahead of time and realize if you did not get away from them t could have been worse a few seconds earlier.
  7. sounds like to me you are compressing your vegas, or vegal nerve(sp.) You said you almost puked. Aggrivating that nerve can do that as well as make you pass out.
  8. pish $15 fine in my city
  9. Think of us when you push off
  10. Cool show. We tried the "breathe-right" strips last night. She did not snore, I am not sure yet if it was the nose tape or just a coincidence yet. It would be great if she snored like a turbine that way it would put me to sleep and enhance my dreams with surround sound!
  11. would the manufactor re-die it?
  12. Since you asked, if someone were to do it would that make it legal?
  13. I was wating on someone to ask myself. I did not follow the story enough to comment about it, just figured someone would ask eventually.
  14. Wait till the blue lazer cd burners come out ($3,800) Blu-ray uses a blue laser to record data on discs, while CD and DVD systems use red lasers. Blue lasers have a shorter wavelength -- 405 nanometers compared to around 650 nanometers on DVD systems -- and that means the laser beam can be focused onto a smaller area of the disc surface. In turn, this means less area is needed to store one bit of data and so more data can be stored on a disc. Recording is done in the MPEG-2 format, and the 23G-byte disc can store two hours of high-definition video at maximum quality, or four hours of standard-definition digital broadcasting. Up to 16 hours of lower quality analog terrestrial broadcasting can be stored.
  15. I bet his excuse was that he was pimpin someones ride(Minivan) and got carried away working and he sewed himself up in the seat.

  18. Size of folder 10.2 GB (10,976,841,705 bytes) 3,333 songs in 883 folders The "My Music" folder was created in 2002 but that was a transfer from my old hard drive when I upgraded to win xp pro. Probbaly since 97 or 98. I will buy a cd that has all good songs on it, but I am not paying for 1 good song and 14 fillers. I think the last 3 I bought were Creed, Metallica mexico set, and something else. With the exception of about 500 of the newest releases most the music I have is just downloads of music I have already had in the past on tape or cd that I broke or lost.
  19. Just got both for free in 30 seconds or less... limewire is great. Both are pretty cool
