Re: [MBZ] OT Local Agitation
So this morning I went on the local cable show, my counterpart was a City Councilman who is apparently anointed to be the next mayor after the current emperor (a 40-yr man). The guy who does the show asked him questions like, Tell us how great shrimp and grits are in the gorgeous city of Charleston that needs this road right damn now! Questions for me were like when are all you people going to stop kicking puppies, cute little fuzzy puppies that only want your love, and get out of the way of progress? It will be on the comscat cable (which I don't have) on Sat, it will be this guy's last actual show as comscat is shutting down the local access programming and going all-infomercial. Saving a $ donchaknow. The producer, who I gathered did not particularly like this guy (a hot-shot criminal defense lawyer in town), said I did a good job. I could see him yelling at the lawyer while I was speaking, I think for treating me poorly with his questions. After about the third one I finally caught on to his deal and pushed back a bit. He is going to send me a DVD. My Cith Hall interview was apparently on the 6PM news last night, my buddy said it was good. I was not on the 11, boo, so did not get to see my amazing performance. Oh, and they voted for the thing, it was a done deal, now we are on to the County again, and lawyers guns and money are lined up. --R ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Re: [MBZ] Military Cel Phone ???'s
On Tue, Nov 13, 2012 at 8:17 PM, Michael Canfield slozuk...@gmail.comwrote: I have heard the wallymart straight talk is a good deal. I just wonder about service coverage. With Straight Talk you choose either ATT or T-Mobile as your base network. You can voice roam to the other, but it is not technically supported - in other words they might turn that off. There is no data roaming, from what I understand, though SWMBO is not a heavy data user. You can buy normal phones on Straight Talk that are CDMA (i.e. no SIM, no worky in Europey), I know nothing about those other than they are slightly cheaper and run on Sprint, so I would not buy one*. Big disadvantage of prepaid is the up-front cost of the phone, you are basically buying a computer with a fancy radio and touchscreen at retail price so it can be quite expensive. Google's $300 Nexus 4 was a low price, but average smartphones would be around $500, give or take, new, less 30-40% on Craigslist. ALSO NOTE if your prepaid account goes inactive you will lose your phone number. Look at Google Voice to get a permanent number to forward, but your caller ID will be wrong and it is another level of indirection. He is mostly interested in unlimited text/data so he can use it for internet access/entertainment as well as a communication device for calls back home. Limited calling minutes aren't much of an issue with Sprints 450 minute plan as cel to cel and after 7pm to 7am are unlimited. That is $69.99/month. Everything else including roaming on other networks is also included. T-Mobile's 100-minute, 5GB data plan ($30) is the best price if you don't average more than 250 minutes per month ($0.10/min overage). If you have an Android phone (possibly also iPhone?) there are apps to use data for calls, if that's an issue. 5GB is pretty much unlimited, in my experience, and I think they just downgrade you to 3G rates if you go over. Postpaid Sprint and T-Mobile offer unlimited data, VZ and ATT do not. In my experience the connection rates on Sprint have become very poor since they got the iPhone - I often see rates in the 50-80Kbps range now. That could be regional. T-Mobile offers HSPA+ rates up to 42Mbps which should be a much better experience, but I think the initial cost for phones is higher. Is roaming included in the prepaids? Do they have the same coverage as contract phones? I have been told that they don't and that in rural area they don't work as well. Is there any truth to that? Generally no, yes but of course without roaming, and sort of. It isn't so much rural as region - I get horrible Sprint service in DC and VA, for example, but I get service fine in the empty forests around NC. Meanwhile a friend couldn't get Verizon at his new house south of Raleigh. The northern SC coast has strange T-Mobile coverage. Moral of the story is that there are pockets everywhere, so it is worth going to the places where you will be and borrowing someone's phone - no one network has universal coverage, especially indoors. Also, not to be ignored, phone hardware is really significant to receiving a signal - Samsung is the worst I've had, Motorola is the best, but I don't know how if that holds true across product lines. * I have recently had to force roaming [to Verizon] at home just to get a Sprint signal, I assume it's because of their LTE conversion since I used to get good signal with this same phone in the same place. Because of that I would not buy a Sprint-based prepaid phone if I expected to keep it for a while. You can always dial '911' in the US from an inactive phone, so you can just keep a charged battery and a phone from another network in the trunk if that's a concern. As you can see from Mitch's response, voice-only prepaid plans are priced much more competitively, so your son might give some thought as to whether he could survive without data. I use Google Maps too much, but a lot of my iPhone-toting peers are always in WiFi range and navigation doesn't matter to them.

My recollection, is that when we visited with my wife's uncle and family in a suburb of Chicago in about 1974, he was quite proud of the fact that he had just installed AC in their home. All of the wiring had to be in conduit. Talk about a benefit to the electrician's union. He had done it himself though. I think that was on Indiana Street in Park Forest south of Rte 30N.

Re: [MBZ] OT - Broadwell
Working the system reminds me: In 1978 I was Base Civil Engineer at
Sondrestrom, Greenland. My biggest project for that summer was to remove
ten 1942 GM Diesel generators in the base main power plant and replace them
with nine, larger White (I think - can't remember for sure the make of the
replacement units) Diesel units. The replacement units had been brought out
of Vietnam year before and had spent several years on a dock at Port
Hueneme, CA. Brilliant plan when they were sent to Greenland in summer of
'77 was to simply remove old gennies and replace them with the newer
ones. In early spring of '78, my Danish civilian contractor chief engineer
came to me one day with SHOCKING news and photos of rampant, MAJOR RUST
inside the new engines. We suddenly had to initiate a project to
COMPLETELY rebuild the nine new ones in house. I had 4 master Diesel
mechanics brought in from the States and 4 from Denmark (all civilians).
Project was moving along fairly well, 'cept we kept finding more parts that
we had to order. It was absolutely imperative that I get a certain number
of the new units on line by 1 Oct, higher number by 1 Nov, all by 1 Dec,
etc., in order to make it through next winter. Ordering and receiving parts
via the usual, normal supply system was unacceptable. I could not wait 6 to
8 weeks for a certain part. I needed it the day we learned that we needed
it. I called The General at HQ in Colorado Springs and told 'im that in
order for me to get the necessary number of new generators installed and
on line in time, I needed to be able to call a supplier/manufacturer in the
States, have them deliver the part(s) to McGuire AFB, NJ, the next day so
that an AF C-141 could bring them up to me on one of their 3/week trips
northbound. Another part of my request was to make available to me $100k in
a slush fund to use at my discretion to accomplish the mission - order the
necessary parts in a timely manner, etc. He at first was shocked that I had
the gall to ask for such, and that it was impossible, had never been done,
etc. I insisted, though, and asked for any other suggestions that he may
have to get the needed parts in a timely manner and get the required units
on line by the winter deadline. He paused for a minute and said, I think
you're right, but I wanta send Col Wha'sisname up to confirm the details. I
reminded 'im that a 141 was coming north from McGuire the next day, it would
help if he were on it. General assured me that he was gonna call Col
Wha'sisname immediately and get 'im on the way. ('Sorry to take so long
getting to the point, but it's coming, it's coming.)
Next afternoon, Col Wha'sisname showed up; we met for an hour or so; I
convinced 'im that I really did need what I asked for; and we quickly worked
out the details; he called General from my office to tell 'im that my
request was legit, and he jumped back on the 141 to continue his trip north
to Thule. 'Turns out, (and I didn't learn it until several weeks later) Col
Wha'sisname had suddenly found a way to work the system - 'shacked up with
his Danish girlfriend for 2 or 3 days/nights at Thule. I really didn't need
the Col, 'cept to satisfy General's doubt. If that's what it took, of
course, that's OK, but Col Wha'sisname had no interest at all in my project
or its deadline, he just wanted to get to Thule to shack-up with girlfriend.

Re: [MBZ] was] 240V was Generators NOW fire suppression
I got to agitating about our local fire district here, and learned a bit about residential sprinkler systems. The fire chief asserted that a system costs $2-$4/ft2, which on top of say $200+/ft2 for the kinds of houses around here is not too shabby. The kicker is that high-end houses here probably go closer to $300-$400/ft2 (or more!), and have hurricane windows, Hardy siding, and metal roofs. Fire chief says unless there is clearly someone inside who needs to be saved, his guys will watch the house burn, protect neighboring properties. They are not able to penetrate that kind of construction, so rather than risk his guys they will just keep it under control while it burns. He asserts the fire suppression will deal with the internal fires so that is why you need it -- to save yo own selfs and your house. He also explained that due to modern materials and interior decorating and furniture (amount and materials) and such, the flashover time now for a fire is measured in a few minutes; whereas, some years back it could be 10-15min or more, so that the FD had some chance of saving the structure if they got the call soon enough. (and back then the construction was much less repulsive to their efforts) Today, pretty much watch it burn if it is inside and fully involved. About the only thing his guys have control over is response time from getting the alarm to reaching the structure, and that is further mitigated by how far is the station, road conditions, property conditions (driveway too narrow, trees, etc.), water availability, and lots of other factors they don't really have much control over. Our local guys, even in a fairly rural area, do a pretty good job, ahead of national averages. It basically boils down to how fast they roll their trucks, the rest is conditional. All quite interesting. I am impressed by just how into it the firefighters are. Almost to the point of being creepy.

Re: [MBZ] was] 240V was Generators NOW fire suppression
We seriously considered a residential (fire) sprinkler system in the house we built in Wisconsin. It was surprisingly inexpensive relative to the total cost of the house. Since the house was a saltbox, the incorporation of the system would have been pretty straightforward, which also helped in keeping the cost reasonable. Ultimately, we looked at the savings as far as insurance and the amortization of the additional construction costs, and it just didn't make sense financially. Had we taken a more abstract approach in considering the likelihood of a fire occurring and how the system would have mitigated it, we might have done it. I would still seriously consider it if I built again (which is highly unlikely.)
