OEC introduces a method of compression to replace exothermic welding and its associated disadvantages. This compression method is designed to provide quick, reliable connections for grid grounding at significantly lower installed costs because compression connectors install in less time, in any weather, and are unaffected by moisture, reducing downtime. In addition, our compression connectors for grid grounding require no special training for installation. They are made of high-conductivity wrought and cast copper, and are used for connecting and tapping cross grid, loop lines and ground rods for direct burial or concrete embedded ground grid systems.


Tuesday, April 20, 2010, I received a packages from a friend of mine. He told me that it is a LED turn signal bulb and the winker relay as I requested. I really want to upgrade my turn signal bulb into LED system to save the electricity cost.
The stock bulb is 10 Watt a piece, so it will consume 20 Watt (1.67 Amp) if I turn on the light (excluding the winker relay).
Compare to the stock bulb (20W:1.32W). I'm saving about 1.500% of wattage!!!
Done, lets test the winker. Ups... it doesn't work... If this happen to you too, then you should switch the cable on the switch converter.
Ok, this should be working correctly right now, if not, then the winker relay is damage or the bulb is dead.
I got nervous about this... Because LED winker replacement kit is not a cheap parts you know, and there are no guarantee for this parts.
But something is missing. Yeah, it is the sound "tic tac" from the stock relay. This one is silent because it only has 3 pin. The one is missing is the Ground Cable. Ground Cable is needed for the buzzer to produce sound on the stock relay.
Put everything assemble as before and job done.
Well done. I'm going try those tips if that happened to my car.

Neocolonialism and terror in the Sahel
Once described by the US as a "Corridor of Terrorism" and home to the feared al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), the African Sahel is increasingly becoming synonymous with extreme terrorism. But what is really going on? Professor Jeremy Keenan, a noted author and expert on the Sahara, takes a deeper look and points out some answers.
In January 2013, New African published an article by this writer entitled: "Mali Is Not Another African War". Its penultimate paragraph read: "Unless something fairly miraculous can be achieved by the turn of the year, northern Mali looks like becoming the site for the start of a region-wide conflagration."
Nothing miraculous was achieved. Rather, with what hindsight shows us to have been rather prescient judgment by New African's editors, French land and air forces were launched into Mali days later for the start of Operation Serval, another geopolitically controversial military intervention of recent times.
Its purpose was to liberate Mali, a former French colony, from Islamist insurgents, who during 2012 had taken over all of northern Mali, a region known by the local Tuareg population as Azawad.
By early January 2013 they stood poised to advance on Mali's meagre southern defences and even the capital, Bamako. The French force, which has most certainly had an impact on the Islamists, although possibly not what was envisaged at the outset, built up during the course of 2013 to some 4,000 troops.
Ronald Rumsfeld's fabricated "corridor of terrorism" has become a self-fulfilling prophecy
In addition, France's assault force was assisted by a contingent of crack Chadian troops. France's defence minister, Jean-Yves Le Drian, announced in May this year that France was to fight militant Islamists across the vast Sahel region, or what he referred to as the "Sahara-Sahel strip".
French troops will be based in Mali, Niger, Chad and Burkina Faso, with more covert basing facilities available in Mauritania. In addition to its three major military bases at Gao (Mali), Niamey (Niger) and N'Djamena (Chad), as well as the use of Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso) if required, France is establishing a number of smaller bases, such as Tessalit, close to the Algerian border in northern Mali, Agades and Diffa in Niger, and Faya (Largeau) and Zouar in northern Chad, to be able to launch strikes across the entire Sahel – from Mauritania's Atlantic coast to Sudan.
Le Drian described the Sahara-Sahel as "the danger zone, the zone of all types of smuggling [… and] key to the security of African states. But it is also for our own security […] France is therefore reorganising its forces to pursue counter-terrorism across several states."
France's new mission is reminiscent of President George W. Bush's 2004 Pan-Sahel Initiative (PSI), which marked the launch of Washington's Sahara-Sahelian or "second" front in its global war on terror (GWOT).
However, there are significant differences between Bush's PSI and France's new mission. First, Bush's "invasion of Africa", as locals called it, involved only some 1,000 operatives, roughly half US Marines and half US "contractors".
The French operation is four times bigger. Second, whereas the PSI consisted mostly of "disinformation" and propaganda, being based on and legitimised by the notorious false-flag terrorism operation, with the knowledge of the US Pentagon, and the kidnapping of 32 European tourists in the Algerian Sahara, the French mission is based on "real terrorism".
It marks the start of the region-wide conflagration that would be the outcome of Washington's attempts to destabilise the Sahel.
When Donald Rumsfeld, the US's extreme "neocon" Secretary of Defense, set out in 2002-3 to project the Sahara-Sahel as what his office called a "Corridor of Terrorism", it was, in fact, one of the safest places in the world.
Today, it is one of the most dangerous, as Boko Haram's recent kidnapping of more than 270 schoolgirls in north-east Nigeria has made self-evident. How has this grotesque transformation come about, and where is it going?
The simple answer to the first part of this question is that the French drive across northern Mali, and finally into the militant stronghold of the Ametetai Valley in the Tigharghar mountains of the Adrar-n-Iforas massif in the extreme north of Mali, killed, according to French military information, at least 600 "jihadists", possibly more. However, as there were well over twice, possibly three times, that number to start with, what happened to the rest? 1 2 3 Next »

At Little Big Smiles we believe in minimally invasive treatments. This means that we preserve as much of the tooth structure as we can, while providing you with long lasting restorations. For small cavities, they are easily restored by utilizing high strength dental bonding materials, which will complement our highly aesthetic and durable composite tooth colored filling materials. Even though our composite filling material have good aesthetic qualities, there is still a chance for the edges of the fillings to stain over time. Therefore, for more aesthetic areas, such as your front teeth, we offer dental porcelain veneers. As for larger cavity affected teeth, we offer dental crowns to make sure we provide a good coverage of the affected area, while preserving the remaining tooth structure to prevent further fractures or decay. If there is an area that is missing teeth, we offer many options for restoration. Dental bridges are a good option for replacing the missing teeth by using adjacent teeth. For a larger area that is missing teeth, there is the option of removable partial dentures, that anchor onto your existing teeth, or full dentures, for the places where there are no teeth remaining. However, please keep in mind, the dentures itself are a removable appliance, but they can be made more stable and fixed with dental implants. With recent advances in dental implantology, titanium dental implants are becoming a go-to option for replacing areas that are missing teeth. Dental implants can act as single root replacement for crowns or act as anchor/abutment roots for dental bridges and even dentures. If you have questions regarding these treatment options, please feel free to contact us.


Why mix HPDE 1 & HPDE 2?
Went to my first NASA event this weekend at Barber. Why does NASA mix the HPDE groups like they do. There were HPDE 1 & HPDE 2 cars mixed in 2 different run groups.
HPDE 1A & HPDE 2A.
HPDE 1B & HPDE 2B.
Why not just run 1 & 2 separately to avoid the train? There were a lot of people upset about this as there was a huge difference in speed between some of the cars.
This can't be the safest way to do this - right?
If Hpde1 is one, separate group = 40 instructors for 40 students.
If you split DE1 in half, you only need 20 instructors - they first instruct 1a then instruct 1b.
You actually get 20 quality instructors who want to instruct instead of some people being pressed in to it that don't want to do it.
I have driven 1 and 2 both separate and combined. Trains just come and go, and some weekends just seem to form them worse than others. I couldn't drive BMP but watched a lot of the groups the weekend from the media center. Was happening in DE3/4 also.
Running HPDE1 and HPDE2 at the same time gives HPDE2 drivers more experience in traffic before promoting them to HPDE3, where the passing rules are a little more liberal, although it's not a free-for-all.
It's not always just about being able to drive the line and recognize the flags. It's also about your awareness in traffic and around other cars of various speeds.
I believe it also helps alleviate instructor shortages.
I have seen a situation in an HPDE1/2 download session where the chief instructor told a driver that he needed to take a standby instructor with him during the next session, due to bad driving, misbehaving, etc. (reason enough to keep 2 seats in your car if you are in HPDE2; don't gut it just yet). Having this driver switch from an HPDE2/3 combo back to HPDE1 involves a different wristband and all other sorts of shenanigans; however, with the HPDE1/2 combo, all the driver had to do was pick up the standby instructor at pit central at the usual session time. Or, the HPDE2 driver would have to take an instructor with him during a regularly scheduled HPDE2/3 combo, but many instructors run in HPDE3, so that could cause a scheduling conflict.
This was also my first NASA event and my 2nd time on Barbers track, I was in 1B group. I thought it went pretty well and mixing different classes sharpens everybodys driving, or at least it should. My first time on track was with another orginazation and they had novice, intermediate and advanced on the track together, needless to say I didnt have much fun or learn much as a novice.
The instructor I had with NASA was great and made it where I could learn this time. I was driving a yellow Mach1 and if I held anybody up I apologize and will try to keep improving with everybodys help.
Someone must not have paid attention when we made the switch.
TMK, the combination of HPDE1 and 2 is something that National wants and tested, with success, in California before trying to implement it nationally. NASA-MA, again TMK, is the only region still splitting HPDE 1 and 2.
since when do I run anywhere else besides SE and MA??
and besides, the gripes this guy has are better handled regionally anyway... so..
My impression from the corners is that the instructors are zeroed in on getting the drivers to do what they want them to, and the drivers are overstimulated, and everybody forgets to look at the mirrors and misses the d*mned blue flag I waved at every train I saw at station 10.
When I got near the apex at 4 on Sunday, I think I scared a few folks, but I was seeing arms shoot out of windows as soon as I was able to put the flag in the instructors' faces. After a while, I'd see 'em point if I just looked at 'em too hard.
My hand still hurts from waving so much all weekend, but it was a blast. Can't wait 'til next time!
I noticed you moved down there, I didnt see a blue flag though. Thanks for working Chuck, and everyone else that did.
Well I will add this. In both MA an SE regions. My instructors were very aware of what was going on all around the car. Although I was able to do a point or wave before they mentioned it....it was just a second before they mentioned it if needed.
But I can really understand your point about both instructor and students not watching mirrors. I spent several laps in Group 1 and 2 behind a car that was trying to work on lines and was unaware of vehicles behind and did not get a point by in the passing zones. Unfortunately this will always be an issue on some occasions and just has to be dealt with along with the understanding and the option to pit in and give the sign for spreading out.
Now that I am in group 3. I spend a huge amount of time glancing in my mirrors looking to point by anyone that needs it from the education that my instructors have given me. The good thing about that is since I drive a Miata...I dont have to lift much to let most everyone past.
So please dont group all instructors in that.
I guess that does make sense about not having enough instructors. That certainly is a good way to make sure there are enough in each group. I don't really buy the idea that it helps non-instructor drivers learn how to manage traffic though. There's always going to be traffic in any group regardless if there are instructors present or not. All in all I though am very happy with the sessions I was able to run. I got most of the point by's when needed with only a few exceptions. My hats off to all of the corner workers and NASA officials for a great job this weekend.
Personally, I think the HPDE1/2 combo with standalone HPDE3 works well. When you're in HPDE1, you're basically learning to ride a bike with the training wheels on. In HPDE2, the training wheels are off, but you're not quite ready to ride on your own just yet (see my earlier post about an HPDE2 driver being told that he needed to take a standby instructor with him). Being promoted to HPDE3 is your "reward" for learning to manage all of the above...the line, traffic, etc., and you're rewarded with more liberal passing rules and a more open track with fewer freight trains.
I recently made it into HPDE3 (something I'm relatively proud of), and although the car count was lower than in HPDE1/2, nobody got hung up behind anybody else. I wouldn't accuse myself of being one of the quicker cars out there, but I wasn't being passed left and right, either. There was no "freight train."
If NASA instructors just turned drivers loose into HPDE3 without making sure that they were comfortable in traffic, then they would be doing a disservice to everybody in the class, especially the more advanced drivers who have been in HPDE3 for quite a while and are trying to work their way into HPDE4/TT.
In my opinion, if you don't like the "freight trains" that develop in the HPDE1/2 combo sessions, then you should focus on your own skills and work your way into HPDE3, where situations like this are reduced or eliminated. Besides, if they just handed out HPDE3 passes like Halloween candy, then you truly haven't accomplished anything, have you?
...and as an instructor with the MA group, I prefer it that way, as we are (ususally) booked to wait list for all of our events, with the only exception being the CMP event. We are also blessed with a great bunch of instructors, to the point that we have several on stand-by for each session, each event, as well.
Good stuff folks, nice discussion.
I have bounced back and forth from 1 to 2. Every de3, De4, and TT I know (and I travel with usually a good size group- Usually a lot of Rx8's, a certain gold mustang, couple miatas, and a beat up Rx7) - they all try to catch rides with each other to improve.
I like the ability to drive solo in 2 without the pressure of 3 (not ready) but if you know an instructor, I have signed up for 1 to insure I got that instructor and just communicated I wanted to run solo also. Gives them a break from having to run every session, and now that 1/2 are combined - you are on track with the same cars anyway.
Thanks to all the instructors also. If that gold mustang was at barbers this past weekend and was TT 007, that was my instructor. He was awesome, thanks JFR!
Most regions only have 1 single run group for HPDE1-2.
HPDE 1-2 typically fill up the fastest and in Socal, they fill up and close the entries very early.
Its alot of work for the instructors to handle 2 run groups of students and then try to be focused on racing too. It makes for a busy day!
Schedule-wise, racers wouldn't be able to pull it off in NASA-FL. There's an overlap for pit lane grid/lineup and HPDE1/2 track sessions. My instructors typically ran in HPDE3, which is nice because they could take me for ride-alongs (not allowed in the HPDE4/TT combo sessions).
We have an inderstanding that the racers and TTers in socal know they have an obligation to their student before their race or TT session.
Thats how we roll in SoCal.
So, the other regions pay their instructors or they can only drive in 3?
Otherwise I could care less if it's a DE 1 or 2 group, especially when given the OK to solo the second day. The after session downloads are usually pretty effective getting everyone in sync.
If there is a train, pit in for space. Or just back off, point by the traffic behind you and try some diffferent lines or some no braking laps to make space in front.
We have an understanding that the racers and TTers in socal know they have an obligation to their student before their race or TT session.
All my instructors in MA either did 3/4 or TT and it's never been a problem. I particularly appreciate they are always willing to give a ride which at this point is more instructional for me than several sessions with them in the right seat.
