Duluth East's loss to crosstown rival Duluth Denfeld on Tuesday night – the first loss the Greyhounds had suffered against the Hunters since 1995 – left a locker room full of players and coaches with a bad taste in their mouths.
"It wasn't very pleasant," said Duluth East junior defenseman Phil Beaulieu. "I couldn't really sleep on Tuesday night."
Coach Mike Randolph wasn't pleased, either, and he decided to send a message.
By using both verbal and visual motivations, Randolph did his best to try and get the 'Hounds up and ready for their 7AA showdown with Grand Rapids on Thursday, Jan. 10.
He posted copies of the Duluth News Tribune with pictures of the Denfeld win in the locker room. He also told the 'Hounds that they needed a clear focus if they hoped to get back to their game.
"He came in and said we need to start playing defense first," Beaulieu said.
Phil Beaulieu wheels up ice during Thursday's game against Grand Rapids.
On Thursday, Duluth East was about as focused on the defensive side of the puck as it gets.
A 2-1 win says "defensive hockey," but it was the other statistics that really told the tale of the contest. The 'Hounds outshot Grand Rapids 33-9, blocked at least 15 shots and limited the Thunderhawks to only a handful of chances.
"It was a playoff type game," Randolph said. "What we needed to do after the fiasco on Tuesday was get back to our game, and we did. It's defense first, and I thought our defensemen were outstanding."
Duluth East's top two defensive pairings – Beaulieu with Meirs Moore and Alex Trapp with Andrew Kerr – have been lights-out in each of the 'Hounds victories this season, and the goals-against average in those wins proves that.
Some of the defensive success has to do with the support offered by the forwards on the backcheck or in the defensive zone, but a lot of it has to do with the specific attributes each pairing brings to the game.
Beaulieu and Moore are the playmakers at the point, and they often show up on the score sheet – Moore scored the winning goal against Grand Rapids, which was assisted by Beaulieu.
Trapp and Kerr are the shutdown guys, whose job consists of making the smart plays and hitting anything that moves.
Against the Thunderhawks, there was nearly perfect execution out of both pairings, but while the lamp-lighting of Moore and Beaulieu eventually won the game for Duluth East, it was the body bruising of Trapp and Kerr that put the 'Hounds in the position to win.
"Everyone was playing the body; that was probably the biggest reason we won," said Trapp, a 5-foot-9 junior that hits like he's twice that size. "They couldn't get in the zone."
"Those guys bring the type of skills that any team would want" added Randolph. "All of our defensemen played well, and we expect that out of them because that's where our experience is.
"We needed this game to get back on track, and I thought the guys came out and played an outstanding game."

Meirs Moore's power-play goal at 11 minutes, 13 seconds of the third period lifted No. 7-ranked Duluth East to a 2-1 win over No. 13 Grand Rapids in a giant section 7AA showdown on Thursday, Jan. 10, at the Heritage Sports Center in Duluth.
With time winding down on a Greyhounds' man-advantage, Moore grabbed a pass from teammate Jack Forbort and sent a seeing-eye shot through traffic and over Grand Rapids goalie Hunter Shepard's glove to put the 'Hounds in front for good.
The win was Duluth East's fifth one-goal win against Grand Rapids in a row, dating back to the 2009-10 season.
Meirs Moore celebrates after his game-winning goal on Thursday.
The two teams traded second-period goals, with Avery Peterson making a beautiful play to give Grand Rapids the game's first goal just 2 minutes, 42 seconds into the middle period before Duluth East's Ryan Lundgren answered with a breakaway tally just 30 seconds later.
Shepard battled through an illness to stop 31 shots, while counterpart Dylan Parker made eight saves for Duluth East.
The 'Hounds (9-4-0) will be on the ice next when they host Eden Prairie on Saturday.
The Thunderhawks (9-4-2) have a rematch with Cloquet/Esko/Carlton on Tuesday, but they will be without forward Cody Mann, who received a game disqualification for a hit he delivered on a Duluth East player after the game had ended.
1. Meirs Moore, Duluth East
With his power-play goal, which was the game-winner, Moore now has goals in four straight games. He was his usual self on Thursday; he moved the puck well, played solid defense in his own end and shot from everywhere.
2. Hunter Shepard, Grand Rapids
Although he was feeling a bit under the weather on Thursday, Shepard made some beautiful stops on his way to a 31-save effort. Only a junior, he's arguably the most athletic goalie in Minnesota.
3. Alex Trapp, Duluth East
While Moore was busy chipping in on the offensive attack, Trapp was busy separating Grand Rapids players from the puck. Trapp connected on a handful of huge hits while keeping the Thunderhawks' offensive weapons frustrated all night.

I found this little crane lying in the corner on the floor of my craftroom looking all lonely. It was my prototype and the first crane I paper-pieced using my CraneStar pattern.
I decided to turn it into a little quilt to showcase that first crane. Right now I'm not certain if I will just bind it and leave it as a mini quilt or quilt some back panels and turn it into a pillow like the original CraneStar pattern. If I sew another single crane block, I would position the crane a bit lower. I will eventually add this mini quilt as a free pattern extra on my blog so that those who have the pattern will have another fun option :o)
I designed the free-motion quilting pattern in the blue border to mimic the flowers in the fabric I used for the crane. I love how it turned out (even more-so on the back) and would like to do it again on a solid border! The red thread on cream is nice.
Mr. Scruffy is critically eyeing the lonely crane quilt but I think he likes it because he ended up falling asleep on it!

Authorities for now are focusing on the city's wastewater treatment plant in their investigation into what abruptly killed about 100 small fish in lower Ashland Creek, despite city officials so far finding no indication the plant was involved.
First discovered Sunday, the dead juvenile wild steelhead and other species were part of what is likely the worst known fish-kill in the Bear Creek Basin in five years, records show.
Investigators found them along a third-of-a-mile stretch from the creek's confluence with Bear Creek upstream to the location where the plant's treated effluent is released into the creek.
With no dead fish discovered above the plant's release site, state Department of Environmental Quality officials have asked the city to look more closely at plant gauges and records and add new tests to see whether something was amiss there, said Bill Meyers, the DEQ's water-quality specialist in the Rogue River Basin.
City officials Monday checked plant records and found no change in oxygen or toxicity levels to indicate the plant's effluent had anything to do with the dead fish, but they are planning a battery of new water-quality tests as part of the investigation.
"All of us are scratching our heads," Ashland Director of Public Works Mike Faught said Tuesday. "There's nothing at the plant that would indicate that it came from the plant."
Meanwhile, a small sampling of the dead fish was sent Tuesday to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's fish pathology lab for testing.
Those tests will look at whether any growths, lesions or other fish-health problems contributed to the die-off, said Dan VanDyke, Rogue District fish biologist for ODFW.
VanDyke walked the creek stretch Monday and discovered an unreported number of dead juvenile steelhead and sculpin along with a few wild chinook and one red-sided shiner. All but the shiner are native to the Bear Creek Basin.
So far, no native coho salmon have been identified in the die-off, VanDyke said.
The Rogue's wild coho are listed as a threatened species under the federal Endangered Species Act and it can be a federal crime to harm or harass them without federal permission.
VanDyke said he did not discover any freshly killed fish there Monday, indicating the possibility of an isolated pollution event over the weekend.
Biologists were back in the field late Tuesday to see whether they could find any more dead fish in Bear Creek downstream from the Ashland Creek mouth.
VanDyke said his agency was conducting a natural-resource damage assessment, during which time the ODFW typically does not release preliminary counts. In past fish kills that ended up in court cases, the release of preliminary counts has harmed the agency's ability to collect damages for fish losses, VanDyke said.
Faught said he believed the dead fish numbered about 100, but that no one knows what the overall tally was.
If so, that would make it the largest known abrupt fish-kill in the Bear Creek Basin since 2007, when about 100 wild juvenile steelhead and coho were found dead in lower Griffin Creek from an apparent petroleum release into the creek, records show. The source of that die-off was never pinpointed and no one was prosecuted.

The Supreme Court on Monday struck down an Arizona law requiring that people registering to vote in federal elections provide proof of U.S. citizenship.
In the latest round of an immigration debate pitting state vs. federal powers, the court in a 7-2 decision declared that Arizona's law went too far. Conservative and liberal justices agreed that, at least when it comes to voter registration, federal law prevails.
"When Congress legislates with respect to the times, places and manner of holding congressional elections, it necessarily displaces some element of a . . . legal regime erected by the states," Justice Antonin Scalia wrote for the majority.
The decision is a blow to officials in Alabama, Kansas, Georgia and Texas, who had urged the Supreme Court to let Arizona's law stand.
The court's decision also comes almost exactly one year after a different lineup of justices, likewise, struck down separate Arizona provisions meant to crack down on illegal immigrants. In the earlier case, the court's majority ruled that federal law pre-empted parts of an Arizona law requiring that immigrants carry documents showing proof of legal U.S. residency.
The staunchly conservative Scalia dissented from last year's Arizona decision, but on Monday he led a majority that included one fellow conservative, Chief Justice John Roberts Jr., as well as the members of the court's liberal wing.
Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented.
"Today's decision is a victory for all Americans," declared Barbara Arnwine, president and executive director of the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. "The court has reaffirmed the essential American right to register to vote for federal election without the burdens of state voter suppression measures."
Under the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, sometimes known as the Motor Voter Act, states are required to "accept and use" a standard federal form when registering voters by mail or through motor vehicle departments. Passed over Republican opposition, the law was intended to make it easier for potential voters to register. The federal form includes a simple attestation that one is a citizen and eligible to vote.
In 2004, though, Arizona voters approved Proposition 200, which required that registrants provide evidence of U.S. citizenship. The proof could be a passport, a birth certificate or tribal identification, among other documents. The state law mandated that Arizona officials reject the registration application of anyone who submitted the federal form but omitted the proof of citizenship.
State officials said the documentary proof was necessary to protect against fraudulent registrations provided by activist groups, including the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, known as ACORN.
"On one particular occasion we had gotten a group (of applicants) in . . . and there were 24 that said, 'I am not a citizen,"' the Maricopa County recorder testified at one point, according to Arizona's legal brief.
But the American Civil Liberties Union noted Monday that "in Arizona, 90 percent of the over 31,000 U.S. citizens whose voter registration applications were denied were actually born in the United States."
In its 18-page decision Monday, the court's majority did not dispute the importance of ensuring voter registration integrity, and it did not touch on immigration control at all.
Instead, much of Scalia's reasoning reached back to the so-called Elections Clause of the Constitution. While the provision declares that the times, places and manners of holding elections "shall be prescribed in each state," the provision also notes that "Congress may at any time by law make or alter such regulations."
"The Elections Clause requires that Arizona's law give way," Scalia reasoned.
Scalia added that Arizona may still have some other options open to it, including asking the federal Election Assistance Commission to alter the voter registration form so that it requires additional information. At the same time, Scalia acknowledged that the commission currently has no members and so is not in a position to do anything for the state.
In his dissent, Alito countered that "it is appropriate to presume that states retain" the authority to set voter registration requirements as long as Congress has not clearly specified otherwise.
The court is scheduled to end its 2012 term next week, with key decisions concerning affirmative action, the Voting Rights Act and same-sex marriage still to come.

Mayor Don Wesely today presented the Mayor's Award of Excellence for November to Kenneth Challquist and Joe Woods, bus operators for StarTran, a division of Public Works and Utilities Department. The monthly award recognizes City employees who consistently provide exemplary service and work that demonstrates personal commitment to the City. The award was presented at the beginning of today's City Council meeting.
Challquist and Woods were nominated by Dave Tivis, StarTran Field Supervisor, in the category of customer relations. While driving their routes on August 30, 2002, the two bus operators came upon a motorist trying to extinguish a vehicle fire at 35th and Apple streets.
"Ken and Joe, on instinct, took the fire extinguishers from their buses and proceeded to put out the fire before the flames were able to get out of control," wrote Tivis in his letter of nomination. "The effort that Ken and Joe showed helps strengthen the public's perception that a bus operator is someone who can be counted on in times of need."
The other categories in which employees can be nominated are loss prevention, productivity, safety and valor. All City employees are eligible for the Mayor's Award of Excellence except for elected officials and some managers. Individuals or teams can be nominated by supervisors, peers, subordinates and the general public.
Nomination forms are available from department heads, employee bulletin boards or the Personnel Department, which oversees the awards program. All nominations are reviewed by the Mayor's Award of Excellence Committee, which includes a representative with each union and a non-union representative appointed by the Mayor. Award winners receive a $100 U.S. savings bond, a day off with pay and a plaque. Monthly winners are eligible to receive the annual award, which comes with a $500 U.S. savings bond, two days off with pay and a plaque.

In my body weight training system I've included exercises for absolute strength (akin to power lifting); strength-endurance; explosive strength; power-endurance; mobility training; static strength and cardio.
One exercise in my arsenal synthesizes many of the above attributes; I have previously written about it, the eponymous Maxercist. There exist many variations on this movement but my latest incarnation is the most satisfying yet.
I specifically created the Maxercist to simulate the rigors of grappling. It was my desire to include all elements of human movement encountered in a grappling match: pushing; pulling; static strength; strong core activation; grip; hip, spine and shoulder mobility; level change...all while under a high cardio stress.
To incorporate a plyometric element, I've introduced the Lifeline Heavy Speed Rope. The rope is heavy enough to provide significant upper body load while simultaneously working ankles, feet and calves, so often neglected in sports training. Jumping rope at high speed intervals provides a tremendous cardio workout, prepping the body for the Maxercist.
In begetting the Maxercist, one concept I used was even placement of stress upon the entire body while under a high systemic load. The idea is not to produce muscular fatigue (although that does happen in the latter rounds) but systemic fatigue (from high level systemic effort) while keeping the muscles as fresh as possible. In this way, you smoke not the muscles, but the system, and by "system" I mean heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, hormonal pathways, etc.
Another important aspect is the full range of motion cultivated in the various articulations used. I want to train my body in the extreme positions encountered in a grappling match. I want my joints strong in sudden, unanticipated leverages.
The high-repetition of the Maxercist movements also develop tendon strength. Many body weight exercise programs are rote, basic movements--which is fine--but I wanted to refine the Maxercist into an elegant kinetic chain, so as to develop other attributes in addition to conditioning. These attributes include:
- agility
- coordination
- balance
- grace
A good question to ask at this point is, Well, what is conditioning if it doesn't include these elements? Yet most exercise programs don't mention, much less include, these all-important elements. You've heard the acronym KISS (i.e. keep it simple, stupid) and I believe KISS is a step in the wrong direction. Athletes should refine upon their movement.
Then there is the mental factor: you must focus on what you're doing and concentrate on connecting the movements together into a super-flowing kinetic chain. This requires a filtering out of external stimulus--that is, you must be here, now--an excellent practice for high-level athleticism.
While excess cardio (exceedingly commonly practiced) results in a loss of range of motion as well as loss of your hard-gained muscle and strength, the Maxercist is a melding of cardio conditioning and joint mobility with a strength emphasis. Unlike typical zone-out cardio, you get the benefits of cardio conditioning as a bonus with everything else you need.
Here is where I break down the Maxercist step-by-step and include a video performance for your entertainment.
Equipment needed:
a pull-up bar, tree limb or Lifeline Jungle Gym, basically something to pull youself up on.
- Facing the bar, drop into a flat-foot squat
- Roll back into a bent-leg shoulder stand
- Exhale, lowering the legs overhead into plow position
- suddenly reversing direction, roll back up into a flat-foot squat, then into an immediate forearm balance (Crane position)
- Hold the arm balance for 3-5seconds then,
- Explosively donkey kick the legs back, extending into the Upward-Facing Dog position then
- lift the hips back into Downward-Facing Dog, then
- Sit into a Bear squat
- Dive through into a Low Plank Position, continuing smoothly back to
- Upward-Facing Dog, then return to Low Plank and finally push up to
- Upper Plank position
- Sit back to Bear squat, then
- Extend the legs into Downward-Facing Dog
- Leap forward into Frog position
- Stand, or jump, up to the pull-up bar in front of you
- Perform a smooth Chin-Up or Pull-Up (your choice)
- Hold 3-5 seconds in the top position, throat against the bar
- Slowly lower down to full arm's length
- Rinse and repeat. Wipe hands on pants.
The way I work the sequence is as follows:
A1) Heavy speed rope x 120 skips
A2) Maxercist x 5
A3) slow, smooth stability ball crunch x 10
That's one round, which should take about 5 min, depending on speed and fluidity. Perform 5-10 rounds according to your strength and ability.
Your goal is smoothness, flow, and full articulation. Do not rush.
This is a phenomenal routine combining the best elements of joint mobility and conditioning and I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do!
The Maxercist is one example of many tools I carry in my kit bag. You can learn more about the Maxercist and much, much more at my upcoming Body Weight Trainer's certification 3 May in Philadelphia. Or, join me and my teen aide-de-camp in Frankfurt, Germany 14 June or Kevin Buckley's great new gym, Dynamic Strength & Conditioning in Nashua NH 12 & 13 September or later on in Reykjavik.
I'm looking forward to it!
In Strength & Health,
Q:I am a 41 year old trainer living in the Highlands of Scotland... I bought a 24kg bell...In short, 3 weeks ago, on the 2nd rep of a set of kettlebell snatches, I broke my forearm, clean break of the radius, which required surgery and implantation of a steel plate and 6 screws. I had no idea... that such an injury was possible...I had sustained not even a bruise in... 9 months of kettlebell training. I have written to the people whose books and dvds I had used, and they tell me I am the first person in the world to have done this...I would be grateful for your opinion on what has happened to me. Perhaps I had some sort of blind spot for this ballistic training, which was new to me. In the 23 years of uninjured training I enjoyed previously, there had been no ballistic swinging exercises, and no tools like the kettlebell which could hit me, even if I had it fully gripped ...I have always been very careful and risk-adverse (until this anomaly...), so I would never have taken up snatching the kettlebell if I had heard it could break an arm.
P.S. ...do you know of anyone who has recovered full strength after a radius fracture and steel plate in forearm? My doctor advises leaving the plate in permanently, have you heard of anyone getting back to full strength in that case?
A: A 24kg is a very big KB to start with, even for strong guys and I always advise even strong guys to start out with a 16kg or even a 12kg. It's EVEN MORE IMPORTANT to seek out proper, professional instruction.
Be that as it may, I myself did neither and, in retrospect, started out with too heavy a KB at a time when there was no KB instruction available and they were entirely new to the US.
I only mention this so you don't feel criticized. My theory is this: You were likely using bad form for quite some time and your forearm suffered repeated insults that were just below the radar.
You're probably a tough guy with a high pain threshold and the cumulative damage wasn't registering. Add to this possibly not allowing adequate recovery between those bouts of physical insult. Systemically and energetically you may have felt recovered, but my sense is that the limb hadn't recovered locally from the trauma of sudden loading inflicted upon it.
I believe there was probably an underlying chronic condition of which you were unaware, possibly weakened at some previous time. Kind of like smoking cigarettes for years, seemingly fine, then suddenly diagnosed with cancer or whatnot.
This is utter conjecture on my part, and I may be off base, but I'm attempting to make some sense of this terrible injury for you.
Sometimes even the safest of things can still result in mishaps and injury, especially when you're pushing physical limits--I mean, something's got to give.
For example, I used to be involved in the Super Slow training movement, done on Nautilus and Hammer Strength machines, and also static contraction training, which was at the time considered the safest of all training methodologies because of the lack of momentum and force on the muscle. While using the protocol on a Hammer seated leg curl, on my last rep, where I reached a momentary failure (which supposedly was the safest part of the set because the muscles are in such a weakened state they can't contract hard enough to produce an injury) I began the static part of the rep after reaching positive failure.
My left upper hamstring, where it attaches to the hip bone completely pulled in such a way that my entire hip tilted and was skewed. it was a very bad hamstring pull which left me in terrible pain for months. It just goes to show there are no guarantees in anything, even something supposedly as safe as Super Slow training and static contraction. There was simply some structural weakness in there which may have been exacerbated by my other physical activities and sports and was just ripe and ready to give out.
I've been teaching KBs in the US longer than anyone else. I've taught thousands of people how to use these productive tools. I have seen a few injuries but far fewer injuries than I ever saw with machine training at the height of Nautilus and Hammer Strength. This runs counter to what you might think and I can only explain it that the people with whom I worked received excellent instruction and training. There were, however, a few people with tweaked shoulders, elbows (and most notably, lower backs) but these can always be traced to over reaching, over training and a breakdown in form. I don't believe there needs to be any more warning for using KBs than there needs be for riding a bicycle. Countless people are injured on bikes every year but you don't see a warning on them other than using proper safety and common sense.
I have long been a proponent as the KB Swing as the primary movement, and for the very reasons you describe. I am not at all enamored with the Snatch. In my experience, all the benefits of KBs can be had with the Swing and for most people it's totally unnecessary to do the Snatch at all. In my corporate/mainstream fitness classes, I've always avoided the Snatch unless it was a group of extra-athletic folks.
I don't see any reason to subject the body to the the additional stress of Snatches.
I have a friend who was badly wounded in the military service by a land mine. His arm was fractured in multiple places and is now held together with plates and screws. Even though he's in his sixties, he's in impeccable shape and lifts his KBs and does his BW conditioning exercises as well as martial arts training virtually every day. He's a true inspiration.
So it is possible to come back from even a setback as this. Much of this has to do with your mind and its assumptions. Rather than assuming a negative outcome to this thing, assume the best outcome as a possiblity and use this as a way to correct any negative inclinations. Visualize your arm whole and strong and perfectly functional. If you see this clearly you'll be amazed how the body will respond.

The German In and Out label captured the sold-out performance of the Golden Striker Trio in San Sebastian on the last evening of their 2012 European tour. Bassist Ron Carter re-assembled with pianist Mulgrew Miller and guitarist Russell Malone, who had initially played together on the 2003 studio album The Golden Striker on Blue Note. The trio's moniker is borrowed from the John Lewis composition from 1960, a fitting name as the slightly introspective brand of chamber jazz is similar to the Modern Jazz Quartet but not quite as restrained.
Alongside the John Lewis tune, the five tracks feature two Ron Carter compositions, "Candle Light" and "Saudade," the standard "My Funny Valentine," and Luiz Bonfá's "Samba de Orpheus." The limited-edition version of the CD also includes a bonus DVD of the concert with a rendition of Oscar Pettiford's "Laverne Walk," not available on the CD.

Woman ready to say yes to man's 4-year-old proposal
DEAR ABBY: I'm a 24-year-old woman and have been in a committed relationship with "Max" for six years. He proposed four years ago and I told him I wanted to marry him, except I wasn't ready at that time.
The years have gone by, and we have flourished as a couple. Most people would swear that we're already married. However, I have been worrying lately that I might have blown my chance for another proposal. Max doesn't mention marriage anymore except if I initiate conversation with a related topic. Some of our mutual friends are now engaged and Max has made no comment on the future of OUR relationship. He seems content in our current state.
I feel silly for wanting to be proposed to again, but it is important to me. I don't want to be pushy and force Max into it. Should I talk to him about it or wait it out and see? — HOPEFUL FUTURE BRIDE IN NEVADA
DEAR HOPEFUL: Max is not a mind reader. The squeaky wheel gets the grease, so if you want a second proposal, squeak up and tell him so. Because you put him off before, he may think you are still not ready for further commitment.
DEAR ABBY: I can't believe I'm actually writing to you, but I need an answer to this question. What is the time limit for acknowledging someone's attendance at a memorial service?
My mother passed away nine months ago. Our relationship had not been an easy one. She had been ill, but the end came very quickly. My youngest sister had died two years before.
To make a long story short, I went into a total meltdown. Life just stopped for me. Would it be appropriate to "come clean" and tell everyone that I was grossly overwhelmed (an understatement) with my grieving, or should I just send a short acknowledgment, thanking them for the time they took to attend my mother's memorial? — WONDERING IN WEST VIRGINIA
DEAR WONDERING: Grief is an individual process. No two people grieve exactly alike, and most of us understand that. It is never too late to say thank you, and if you include an explanation with your acknowledgment, it would be appreciated.
DEAR ABBY: I am sending out our annual Christmas cards. I do not want to include my husband's name on them this year. We haven't spoken to each other in two years. We still occupy the same house — but thank God it's large so we don't have to see each other often. We have a son away at college. Please tell me it is OK. — MARRIED AND NOT, ALBANY, N.Y.
DEAR MARRIED AND NOT: If you follow your impulse and omit your husband's name from the cards, it will be like announcing that he is dead or that you have separated. While I sympathize with you, do not omit his name unless you are prepared to answer the questions that will surely follow. If you're ready to "make an announcement," then do as you wish.

Need ideas for a hospital entry control kiosk
Hi, Everyone!
Great to be here. I'm a new puppy user like probably many of you and also now a windows refugee. Learned about puppy while looking for a solution to the "black screen of death" and blank screen with just a blinking cursor.
Someone in one of the help threads mentioned puppy. Installed it to help with that...did real well dual booting with windows 7....decided to get fancy and shrink my windows 7 partition using gparted and lost my ability to dual boot. (Probably now a blessing in disguise)
in this last month (Since February 18th or so) I've learned how to use almost everything (my favourite programs) and then some and find the thought of going back to microsoft products disturbing.
Anyway, My boss has tasked me with setting up an internet kiosk at the hospital where I work which will be used as a way of communicating with visitors wanting to gain entry to a secured unit (the Women's Center aka L&D or Labor and Deliver)
The way its supposed to work from what my boss told me is similiar to the kiosk system that Verizon uses in their stores. I'm not familiar with this...never seen it, don't think I need to.
The concept I understand; the method is what I'm working on.
We already have in place a videophone at the main entrance to the unit called an Aiphone. This allows for two-way communication between visitors and Public Safety. Public safety have both audio + video while visitors get audio only.
Sometimes there is difficulty hearing people over the video phone and occassionally language barriers where the persons at opposite ends don't always speak the same language or have limited english.
The kiosk Idea was presented by my boss and a colleague to be a way of making our Women's Center unit more secure. Essentially the person needs the ability to type in who they want to see. Public Safety then looks up the patients info on another software program to determine if they are on the unit or not. If they are there, Public Safety presses a button that unlocks the main entrance for five seconds to allow a person to get in.
I think that's as simple as it gets.
From the description my colleague gave he wanted to have a digital display setup over the main entrance to L&D that would display when a person waiting could visit. Sometimes visitors can't always go in for various reasons and have to wait...by using some type of display (like one of those long rectangular things with the programmable red led displays) this could be accomplished.
It seems like it would add a lot more work to the job than is necessary by overcomplicating things with extra steps and processes but the powers-that-be who are in charge want Public Safety to verify every visitor to the unit remotely.
I'm open to any thoughts, suggestions or ideas.
I've already considered modifying a webscript to use similiar to a customised version of phpbb. I've got example on my local hd...matter of fact I'd appreciate it if any of you could access that page and offer ideas.
It's located here:
[link removed]
It's only accessible whenever I'm online and my computer is on and booted into Lighthouse Puppy 4.31
I'll try to leave it up as much as possible. I also considered maybe keeping the front page of that bbs and incorporating a chat script into....we will have to run it locally on a private network at the hospital....i've installed an irc server on this (homepc) that I'm using for testing.
I could use much help with this. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
Other ideas I wanted to add to that default page would be an option to enable the visitors and Public Safety to speak to each other via a webcam with skype or some other voip preferable free client but also something that can be run privately as it needs to be an inhouse service for HIPPA (privacy) violations not to occur.
So only works through our hospital network on private ip.
The webserver and the irc we already know we can do...not sure about the voip...not sure what I'll do about the Aiphone either..doesn't seem like we'll need both.
Incidentally we're going to use an upgrade videogame console I saw mentioned else where to serve as the shell for the kiosk...would love to incorporate the video camera, voip, irc and static webpage similiar to the initial layout of the test forum in the link mentioned above all into one nice cohesive unit.
What do you guys/gals think? Please tell me.
Awaiting some input.

Take Puppy out of the equation and look at what you need to do. I don't consider the solution stated as in any way secure. All it proves is that the person requesting access knows how to write the name of a female patient. (And depending upon the language, they may know how to write it in a language you can't read and your kiosk can't handle, like, say, Chinese ideographs.)
You need to know who the
is, and their purpose in seeing the patient. Let's say that a woman is in your care at all because she's been battered by an abusive parent/sibling/spouse/lover, and the abuser comes to visit. Oops... (There are abusers crazy enough that they really
try for another round when she's laid up in a hospital bed.)
Puppy might be appropriate for powering the kiosk, but the kiosk as described won't aid safety and security.

Post subject: simple
Hmm, why not keep it simple?
Have posted/paper instruction on the PC for the guest to type the patient's name. You can have a video monitoring the typed name (you can use two screens, can't you?).
Then if it's GO, Public Safety switches on a green bulb. If NO, switch on a red bulb.
Place a button on the screen that says "Enter new name". This clears the old entry.

raffy, good point in keeping it simple...but going back to DMcCunney's take on this that wouldn't make it secure.
I had my mind wrapped around the technical aspect of how to accomplish the suggested goal that I totally neglected actual security.
If the method you recommended was utilised a person who was visiting for wrong intentions could just use the name of the person already entered if it was still present on the screen.
Going back to DMcCunney's view on safety - He is right this isn't secure at all.
In the past access control was done differently at its most secure point. Public Safety was given a list of approved visitors for each patient and if the person visiting wasn't on the approved list then Public Safety would have to call the room number to get approval from the patient before sending in the guest.
As things stand now we've just been allowing entry if they know the name of the person they want to visit and it matches on our patient list that the person is patient in the hospital.
One caveat is that if a person doesn't want visitors or wishes to restrict visitation from certain parties they have the option of requesting it by filling out a visitor restriction form for public safety to use as a means of screening visitors for that patient.
I'm also interested on hearing any advice from anyone else that is or has been involved in Healthcare safety or security on how they protect access to their maternity and Pediatric ward.
Thanks, again.

If Public Safety
currently vetting the visitors, just how are these requested exclusions enforced?

I was following you until you got to phpbb. You totally lost me there. I can see using a webserver to mediate the communications rather than using a more direct method. But a forum?
I'm guessing the reason you can't just have a human sitting behind thick glass is because the people who need to be looking this stuff up are at the other end of the building?

Despite both sides saying continuing their relationship remained a possibility, we all knew when the New York Mets gave Johan Santana a $5.5 million buyout for this season that would never happen.
It's what parting sides always claim when they don't want to say what's really on their minds.
From his part, Santana would liked to have kept on milking the cash cow. The Mets however, weren't happy he threw before he was scheduled that final spring and ended up sitting out the entire 2013 season.
After spending $137.5 million, they weren't about to throw good money after bad, especially since Santana made it clear he wasn't going to offer a "home team discount.'' Instead, Santana settled on a minor league contract today with the Baltimore Orioles.
Any contract is a risk, especially a six-year deal for a pitcher who had already experienced shoulder problems before he broke down with the Mets. In the end, for all that money, the Mets received one solid year, a tainted no-hitter, but without question, 100 percent effort whenever Santana took the mound.
They did not receive the repeated 20-win seasons and playoff appearances they had hoped. In short, they gambled and lost.
After they lost Game 7 of the 2006 NLCS and kicked away a seven-game lead with 17 games remaining in 2007, and in dire need of pitching, the Mets rolled the dice on Santana.
The Mets sent four prospects – one of them turning out to be All-Star outfielder Carlos Gomez – for the overworked and already damaged left-hander. They then signed him for at the time was the richest contract in franchise history.
As what often has been the case with the Mets, in both the trade and subsequent contract negotiations, they bid against themselves.
Santana became available because both the Yankees and Red Sox backed off, so as the only real party to the table, they could have had him for less. And, because the Twins weren't going to bend to Santana's salary demands, the Mets agreed to giving him way too much money.
Outside a 15-7 record with a league-leading 2.53 ERA in 34 starts in 2008, his first season with the Mets, Santana never completed a full year in New York and didn't pitch at all in 2011 and 2013 because of shoulder injuries.
With a full season is considered 34 starts, Santana left 95 starts on the table. That is far more glaring than his production of 46-34, a 3.18 ERA and the only no-hitter in franchise history.
The no-hitter came in his 12th start after rehabbing from shoulder surgery to repair a torn anterior capsule. To this day, manager Terry Collins laments letting him throw 134 pitches.
Ironically, it was a tainted no-hitter because a blown call on what should have been an extra-base hit for Carlos Beltran |was ruled a foul ball.
Had that call been made correctly, then Santana doesn't throw that many pitches, then, who really knows?
Santana made only 10 more starts for the Mets before he was shut down in August of 2012. In spring training of 2013, in an angered response to GM Sandy Alderson's comments he didn't report in shape, Santana went against his prescribed rehab routine and without Collins' knowledge, threw off the mound and aggravated the injury.
In another dose of irony, the pitcher often fueled by pride was done in by the same. Santana re-tore the capsule and underwent a second surgery.
To this day, Santana never acknowledged his mistake of throwing off the mound, and Anderson never admitted whether his dig at the left-hander's condition was meant as motivation and backfired.
Either way, after that day, the Santana Era was over, regardless of what either side claimed.


text: RussiaFeed News Sports Man who may get Russia banned from OIympics says he wants to 'destroy Russian sport for 5 years' The World Anti-Doping Agency's recommendation to ban Russian athletes from the Olympics is based on Grigory Rodchenkov's testimony Published 1 year ago on December 5, 2017 By RussiaFeed 27 Views Share Tweet (RT) – The WADA informant who accused Russia of state-sanctioned athletic doping said that he "does not care about the fight against doping" in a video released by a Russian TV channel. The fate of Team Russia's participation in the 2018 Olympics is to be decided on Tuesday. On December 2, Russia's NTV aired extracts from three different videos purportedly showing the former Moscow anti-doping lab chief, Grigory Rodchenkov, making a series of shocking statements. In one video, a man who strongly resembles Rodchenkov admits that he "does not care about the fight against doping." In another clip, the same man says that he's a "terrible person" who has "sold his soul" – although he was quick to point out that his "price had risen." He goes on to boast that his "expensive" apartment in Los Angeles and latest-model Infiniti "are paid for" in full. "I'll make sure you have one positive sample of 20,000. I'll make sure I have 100 samples, and I will destroy all Olympic sports of Russia for the next five years!" the person believed to be Rodchenkov declares in one of the videos obtained by NTV. The channel did not elaborate on the details of the videos' origins. Rodchenkov fled Russia for the US in November 2015. His testimony about alleged misconduct by Russian authorities during the 2014 Sochi Olympics formed the basis for a World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) report authored by Canadian lawyer Richard McLaren. The report, released in July 2016, claims that Russian athletes participated in systematic doping with the full knowledge of the Kremlin. Acting on McLaren's recommendations, the IOC banned Russian track-and-field athletes from participating in the 2016 Rio Olympics and excluded the entire Russian team from the Paralympics. In September of this year, a Moscow court ordered Rodchenkov's arrest in absentia. He is wanted on charges of abuse of authority, and Russia is currently seeking his extradition from the US. Rodchenkov doesn't seem to dispute that he is guilty of serious wrongdoing. "I have [committed] all sins except pedophilia, homosexuality and drug trafficking," Rodchenkov confesses in one of the videos. The language of the man in the videos is quite offensive, apparently induced by alcohol, as he suggests himself. At one point he breaks into a tirade against a "fat Negro." He continues: "What an idiot… [She] walks and drops a bin full of dog sh*t – what a country this is!" the man in the video says, adding that he's not surprised "all Americans are so rude." Rodchenkov has previously taken credit for developing a three-drug cocktail of banned substances that he mixed with liquor. He claims he provided the elixir to Russian athletes during the 2014 Sochi Winter games. However, in one of the videos released by the NTV, Rodchenkov insists that the recipe for "Duchess," the name of his now-infamous cocktail, actually has American origins. He says the idea came to him after he was inspired by the works of prohormones-industry researcher William Llewellyn. The person in the video also reveals he "almost killed himself," committing a hara-kiri, and admits he used to be a patient at the Kashchenko psychiatric hospital. Moscow has repeatedly disputed Rodchenkov's whistleblower status, pointing out that he was actively involved in the crimes he now accuses others of committing. Russia's Investigative Committee said in November that they gathered enough evidence showing that Rodchenkov destroyed the doping tests of athletes in violation of the requirements of the International Standard for Laboratories of the World Anti-Doping Agency, as well as the agency's letters regarding the whereabouts of the samples.

Pressurized by anti-doping organizations that take Rodchenkov's claims at face value, the IOC will meet on December 5 to decide whether Russian athletes will be allowed to participate in the 2018 Winter Olympics. The International Paralympics Committee (IPC) has already decided to uphold its blanket ban on Russian athletes in the upcoming Winter Paralympics. Liked it?

Published 2 days ago on February 20, 2019 By Seraphim Hanisch One of the aspects of news about Ukraine that does not make it past the gatekeepers of the American and Western news media is how a significant contingent of Ukrainian nationalists have espoused a sense of reverence for Nazis. The idea that this could even happen anywhere in the world in an open manner makes the claim seem too absurd to be taken seriously. Gone are the days when the Nazi swastika adorned streets and buildings in Europe. Right? Well, maybe, wrong. This was seen in Kyiv's Gorodok (or Horodok, if you insist) Gallery, a shopping center in that city, located on Bandera Avenue. The pro-nationalist news service UNIAN wasted no time going to press with their explanation of this incident, which admittedly may be accurate: Children and teenagers who participated in the All-Ukrainian break dance festival held in the Kyiv-based Gorodok Gallery shopping mall were shocked to see a swastika image projected onto an LED staircase. The mall administration apologized to visitors, explaining saying that their computer system had apparently been hacked. "The administration and staff have no relation to whatever was projected onto the LED-staircase, and in no way does it support such [an] act. Now we are actively searching for those involved in the attack," it said in a statement. According to Gorodok Gallery's administrative office, it was not the first time a cyber breach took place. As reported earlier, Ukraine is believed to be a testing ground for cyberattacks, many of which are launched from Russia. Hackers have earlier targeted critical energy infrastructure, state institutions, banks, and large businesses. This time, it appears, hackers aimed to feed the Kremlin's narrative of "Nazis in power in Ukraine" and create a relevant hype-driving viral story for Russian media to spread it worldwide. The Gorodok Gallery also apologized on its Facebook page and said that this was a result of hacking. But what about the street that the mall is on? From the self-same Facebook page, this is what we see: To translate, for those who do not read Ukrainian or Russian, the address says the following: 23 Steven Bandera Prospekt, Kyiv, Ukraine 04073 This street was formerly called "Moscow Avenue." Big change, as we shall see. Steven Bandera got his birthday designated as a national holiday in Ukraine last December. He is known in Ukraine's history for one thing. According to the Jerusalem Post: The street where the shopping mall is located is named for Stepan Bandera, a Ukrainian nationalist who briefly collaborated with Nazi Germany in its fight against Russia. His troops are believed to have killed thousands of Jews. Several Israeli papers picked this bit of news up, and of course, the reasons are understandable. However, for the West, it appears possible that this news event will largely go unnoticed, even by that great nation that is often called "Israel's proxy", the United States. This is probably because for certain people in the US, there is a sense of desperation to mask the nature of events that are happening in Ukraine. The usual fare of mainstream news for the West probably consists of things like "Putin's military seizes innocent Ukrainian sailors in Kerch incident" or, "Ukraine's Orthodox Church declared fully independent by Patriarch of Constantinople" (not that too many Americans know what a Constantinople even is, anyway), but the overriding narrative for the American people about this country is "Ukraine are the good guys, and Russia are the bad guys," and this will not be pushed aside, even to accommodate the logical grievance of Israel to this incident. If this article gets to Western papers at all, it will be the UNIAN line they adhere to, that evil pro-Russia hackers caused this stairway to have a swastika to provoke the idea that Ukraine somehow supports Naziism. But UNIAN neglected to mention that the street name was recently changed to Stephan Bandera (in 2016), and no one appears to have hacked this. Nor does UNIAN talk about the Azov fighters that openly espoused much of the Nazi ideology. For nationalist Ukrainians, this is all for the greater good of getting rid of all things Russia. A further sad fact about this is the near impossibility of getting assuredly honest and neutral information about this and other similar happenings. Both Ukrainian nationalists and Russian media agencies have dogs in the race, so to speak. They are both personally connected to these events. However, the Russian media cannot be discounted here, because they do offer a witness and perspective, probably the closest to any objective look at what is going on in Ukraine. We include a video of a "torchlight march" that took place in 2017 that featured such hypernationalist activity, which is not reported in the West. More such reports are available, but this one seemed the best one to summarize the character of what is going on in the country. While we do not know the motive and identities of whoever programmed the swastika, it cannot really be stated that this was just a random publicity stunt in a country that has no relationship with Nazi veneration. The street the mall is on bears witness to that. Liked it? Take a second to support The Duran on Patreon!

Published 2 days ago on February 20, 2019 By RT Via RT… If the US deploys intermediate-range missiles in Europe, Moscow will respond by stationing weapons aimed not only against missiles themselves, but also at command and control centers, from which a launch order would come. The warning came from President Vladimir Putin, who announced Russia's planned actions after the US withdraws from the INF Treaty – a Cold War-era agreement between Washington and Moscow which banned both sides form having ground-based cruise and ballistic missiles and developing relevant technology. The US is set to unilaterally withdraw from the treaty in six months, which opens the possibility of once again deploying these missiles in Europe. Russia would see that as a major threat and respond with its own deployments, Putin said. Intermediate-range missiles were banned and removed from Europe because they would leave a very short window of opportunity for the other side to decide whether to fire in retaliation after detecting a launch – mere minutes. This poses the threat of an accidental nuclear exchange triggered by a false launch warning, with the officer in charge having no time to double check. "Russia will be forced to create and deploy weapon systems, which can be used not only against the territories from which this direct threat would be projected, but also against those territories where decision centers are located, from which an order to use those weapons against us may come." The Russian president, who was delivering a keynote address to the Russian parliament on Wednesday, did not elaborate on whether any counter-deployment would only target US command-and-control sites in Europe or would also include targets on American soil. He did say the Russian weapon system in terms of flight times and other specifications would "correspond" to those targeting Russia. "We know how to do it and we will implement those plans without a delay once the relevant threats against us materialize,"he said. Liked it? Take a second to support The Duran on Patreon! Continue Reading Latest Russia's Lukoil Halts Oil Swaps In Venezuela After U.S. Sanctions Under the new wide-ranging U.S. sanctions, Venezuela will not be able to import U.S. naphtha which it has typically used to dilute its heavy crude grades. Published 4 days ago on February 18, 2019 By OilPrice.com Via Oilprice.com Litasco, the international trading arm of Russia's second-biggest oil producer Lukoil, stopped its oil swaps deals with Venezuela immediately after the U.S. imposed sanctions on Venezuela's oil industry and state oil firm PDVSA, Lukoil's chief executive Vagit Alekperov said at an investment forum in Russia. Russia, which stands by Nicolas Maduro in the ongoing Venezuelan political crisis, has vowed to defend its interests in Venezuela—including oil interests—within the international law using "all mechanisms available to us." Because of Moscow's support for Maduro, the international community and market analysts are closely watching the relationship of Russian oil companies with Venezuela. "Litasco does not work with Venezuela. Before the restrictions were imposed, Litasco had operations to deliver oil products and to sell oil. There were swap operations. Today there are none, since the sanctions were imposed," Lukoil's Alekperov said at the Russian Investment Forum in the Black Sea resort of Sochi. Another Russian oil producer, Gazprom Neft, however, does not see major risks for its oil business in Venezuela, the company's chief executive officer Alexander Dyukov said at the same event. Gazprom Neft has not supplied and does not supply oil products to Venezuela needed to dilute the thick heavy Venezuelan oil, Dyukov said, noting that the Latin American country hadn't approached Gazprom Neft for possible supply of oil products for diluents. Under the new wide-ranging U.S. sanctions, Venezuela will not be able to import U.S. naphtha which it has typically used to dilute its heavy crude grades. Analysts expect that a shortage of diluents could accelerate beginning this month the already steadily declining Venezuelan oil production and exports. Venezuela's crude oil production plunged by another 59,000 bpd from December 2018 to stand at just 1.106 million bpd in January 2019, OPEC's secondary sources figures showed in the cartel's closely watched Monthly Oil Market Report (MOMR) this week.

Today's maps come to my attention via my colleague Sam Matthews, whom I hope to get to contribute to this blog someday. He alerted me to mapsofworld.com and the wealth of intriguing and often unfortunate cartographic specimens to be found there. They have lots of material worth discussing, but for now, I'm just going to pick out a couple to highlight a problem I've not talked about before. Let's start with their map of world mineral resources.
Fairly innocuous-looking, to be sure. Tan land, blue water. Standard stuff. But if you look carefully, and you obsess about projections as I do, you'll see that this map not only has blue water, but that it's sitting on a blue background. That is to say, there is no distinction between the map and the background it's drawn on. The color used on this map to mean "water" is also used for areas that are not a map. Here's a hastily annotated copy to help explain:
A lot of people looking at this map are going to think that there's a bunch of extra water on the planet that simply doesn't exist. The Bering Strait between Alaska and Russia is only about 50 miles wide. Here, it looks like a huge expanse hundreds of miles across. And this map isn't the worst of them. Here's another one from the same site:
This map has an entire extra ocean added at the top, a vast unnamed and unexplored expanse beyond the Arctic Ocean, somehow more north than the North Pole itself. It's bizarre and unnecessary, and worse, it's misleading. If you want to know why Americans have such poor knowledge of world geography, at least a fraction of the answer lies in the above, along with all of the other carelessly assembled maps that people end up learning from.
Both of these maps could be fixed by simply inserting a neatline. A neatline is a border, usually just a black line, that separates the map from the rest of the page. The lines I have drawn in my annotated examples above are neatlines, albeit approximated. In cases like this, neatlines are the difference between "map sitting on a blue background" and "map of an alternate dimension where there are extra oceans."
I'm actually not a fan of neatlines — I think they're frequently unnecessary, as I argue in a post on my other blog today. While these maps would be improved by adding a neatline, they could skip it entirely by just making the page background something other than the color of the water. A bold concept, but I'm willing to promote it. Imagine: a map with blue water and a white background.
This phantom ocean problem issue crops up a lot with maps made using projections that aren't rectangular, like the venerable Robinson projection above, or the Winkel Tripel. These maps have curved edges, and I suppose that bothers people who want maps to fit inside rectangles. Maybe I'm missing something. Maybe they ran a focus group and found out that people hate non-rectangular maps, or that they cause seizures or something, and that we ought to add a few extra seas here and there to fill it out.
Like most maps featured here, I can't entirely fathom what goes on in the mapmaker's head that makes them think it's alright to just make up some extra water. The slogan for mapsofworld.com is "We do magic to Maps." Maybe this is what they mean.
Critical geographers, I'm sure, could have a field day with what such maps say about people. The idea here seems to be that the landforms on the map are data, and that the oceans are merely filler, no better than the background. And it's true, we're a pretty land-centered species, for obvious reasons. Bodies of water are often second-class citizens on many maps, thought of only as "not-land," or "no data." And phantom oceans, like the above, are probably the result.

The Vittoria Latex road inner tube is a must have cycling essential for 700c bike wheels if you like watching your bike weight. Latex tubes will require pumping up more often as due to the material used in construction, air seeps out slowly over time.
Shorter valve inner tubes are ideal for wheels with rim depths of 24mm or 30mm but are not ideal for wheels with rim depths of 40mm or above (as the shorter valve would not extend out of the rim valve hole).
Presta valve tubes are most commonly used for road wheels (700c) and on a few MTB wheels as the valves are thin, whereas Schrader valves are more commonly found on MTB wheels as valve is larger and won't fit through 700c rim valve holes.
Vittoria Industries Ltd. with an annual production of more than five million tires (mainly for race bikes) and nine hundred thousand famous tubulars all developed and produced in its wholly owned factory Lion Tyres in Thailand, is one of the largest race bike tire specialists and producers in the world. Its mission is to create higher value for its stakeholders and offer high quality tyres with the best available technologies to professional riders and bicycle enthusiasts. More than 15 professional teams (Pro Tour and Continental), several National Cycle Federations and the UCI Technical Centre in Aigle (CH) have used Vittoria tires for their races and training programs for many years.

Ford Bronco Brake Upgrade - Bronco BoostingPosted in How To on October 1, 2008
The Ford Bronco made its debut as a '66 model in late summer of 1965 and was designed to provide reliable 4WD travel against the likes of the Jeep CJ-5 and the International Scout.
Those earliest Bronco brakes were a simple setup with 11x2-inch front drums and 10x2.5-inch rear drums on the light-duty axle and 11x1.75-inch drums on the heavier-duty (large bearing) rear axle. Both rear axles were the venerable Ford 9-inch, and the early models used a Dana 30 front axle.
Brake advancements were slow on the Bronco. In 1967, Ford swapped to a dual master-cylinder setup in a split hydraulic system and added a self-adjustment feature to the drum brakes. Finally in 1976, the Bronco got a vacuum-assist power-brake option with front disc brakes and upgraded 11x2.25-inch rear drums.
Although these latest-model brakes work fairly well for stock vehicles or those with mild mods, the addition of bigger, heavier tires can tax the system and lengthen stopping distances. Big tires, tall lifts, and marginal brakes can all add up to scary stopping and loss of control. But there are other improvements available.
A conventional vacuum booster works by using the energy of the engine-intake vacuum (or a vacuum pump) to help reduce the braking effort your foot must apply. The booster consists of a large sheetmetal canister that is mounted to the firewall between the brake-pedal rod and the brake master cylinder. The force of the input rod is exerted on a bladder that essentially has ambient pressure on the input side but is under a vacuum on the backside. This differential pressure is used to assist the action of the brake rods.
To upgrade further, consider a conversion to a hydraulic system. Hydraulic-assist braking is often referred to as a hydroboost system and is a more powerful alternative to vacuum-boost brake assist. Hydraulic assist uses pressurized fluid from the power-steering system to help provide mechanical advantage to the master cylinder.
Many late-model fullsize heavy-duty trucks come factory equipped with hydraulic assist, making braking of these heavy vehicles with large tires fairly effortless. One big advantage of hydraulic assist over an engine vacuum-assist setup is that its operation does not vary significantly with changes in engine speed or vacuum. In fact, a system such as this works quite well with racier cams that tend to drastically reduce available intake vacuum needed for standard power brakes.
Of course, the addition of the more powerful hydraulic assist won't provide the best benefit if your power-steering pump or other brake components are in poor shape. Hydratech is an aftermarket supplier of hydroboost systems and has retrofit kits for a wide range of vehicles. Here, we'll show you the early Bronco conversion used to go hydro.
